- MSI Minutes
-
- The Management Services Interface Working Group met to discuss the
- latest revision of the draft API document. The following actions were
- taken.
-
-
- o The section on authentication information (Section B.4) was
- modified to indicate that the authentication information should be
- passed as an AVL instead of the previously indicated C structure.
- o The rough outline of an interoperability statement. This statement
- will document the requirement that implementations of MSI behave
- the same regardless of the underlying protocol.
- o The Interoperability statement effort produced an issue that must
- be addressed in order for an implementation of the MSI API to
- function. In order for an implementation of MSI to behave the same
- regardless of the protocol, the MIB for new classes must be defined
- in both SNMP terms and OIM terms. This requires that objects and
- events be documented in the current template format as well as the
- ISO GDMO format. Without this information, it is impossible for an
- MSI implementation to `translate' a management request into both an
- SNMP PDU and a CMOT PDU. There was no resolution of this issue, but
- it was agreed that it should also be raised in the OIM Working
- Group meeting the next day and raised to the Network Management
- Area Chair.
-
-
- Comments on the API draft from the UBC meeting will be incorporated in
- the next revision of the draft.
