The working group will create a Best Current Practices document which outlines the most effective methods for using the SNMP Framework to accomplish configuration management. The scope of the work will include recommendations for device specific as well as network-wide (Policy) configuration. The group is also chartered to write any MIB modules necessary to facilitate configuration management, specifically they will write a MIB module which describes a network entities capabilities and capacities which can be used by management entities making policy decisions at a network level or device specific level.
As a proof of concept, the working group will also write a MIB module which describes management objects for the control of differentiated services policy in coordination with the effort currently taking place in the Differentiated Services Working Group.
Deliverables
1. A Best Current Practices document to provide guidelines on how to best use the existing Internet Standard Management Framework to perform configuration management.
2. A MIB module which describes a network entities capabilities such as support for a particular type of security or a particular queuing method on certain interfaces. The module will also convey the capacity of the device to perform certain work.
3. A MIB module which can be used to concisely convey information about desired network wide Diffserv Based QoS behavior.
4. A document which describes potential future work needed to meet all the Requirements for Configuration Management.
