CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Jeff Case/University of Tennessee Minutes of the FDDI MIB Working Group (FDDIMIB) The status of the current MIB Internet-Draft was discussed. It is progressing through the Last Call, Directorate review, and IESG review with few comments, none of which are substantive; all are editorial in nature. If all continues as anticipated, the document will soon become an RFC with Proposed Standard status. RFC 1285 will continue to be a Proposed Standard for management of ANSI 6.2 based FDDI network devices; the new RFC will be for the management of ANSI 7.x based FDDI network devices. RFC 1285 will expire at some point in the future but does not need to be dealt with at this time. The majority of the (short) meeting time was devoted to consideration of the trap document. In a repetition of history (Atlanta IETF, July 30, 1991), the net result was that there is no need for a trap document. One reason for this is the observation that the Alarms group of the RMON MIB can be implemented in the RMON device and thereby provide all of the functions of all of the event notifications contained in the ANSI document. The working group decided at the Columbus IETF meeting that there would need to be standard mechanisms for enabling, disabling, and rate controlling any traps to be generated. Since the RMON MIB provides all of these capabilities and is already progressing on the standards track, the group concluded that there is no need for additional work on traps. Consequently, having concluded its charter, the work of the group is finished. Members should anticipate the working group going dormant in the near future, to be re-chartered when there are new work items.
