Minutes of the Chassis MIB Working Group (CHASSIS)
The purpose of this meeting was to try to get the Chassis MIB Working
Group started/restarted.
All sorts of events have conspired to detract from efforts to get it
started. A major contributor from Cabletron got reassigned. Another
major contributor and one of the co-Chairs has been tied up with other
standardization efforts such as (SMP). The other co-Chair has been ill
for nearly a month but we are pleased to hear he is better. Finally,
the members of the non-Working Group seem to think that the mailing list
is a read-only object.
The Group spent time reassessing the interest in and commitment to this
work with the intention of pulling the plug if appropriate (though
everyone hoped it would not be necessary). In addition attempts were
made to put together a new time-action-plan for the work.
This was a short meeting. There was nothing to be read or said.
The Charter was reviewed as well as the work done, noting that there
were only thirteen messages on the mailing list since our first meeting.
o The Group was supposed to have Chassis MIB submissions and
synthesize a proposal. Nothing had been done, and it still needs
doing.
o The Group was supposed to get power supply submissions. It got 1
or 2. More needs to be done.
o Nothing was done on the Aggregate MIB.
Time was spent reassessing interest, and the following conclusions were
made.
o Interest remains, though perhaps at slightly lessened level. The
meeting well attended.
o The Cabletron implementation has moved in the direction of Keith &
Donna's proposal.
The following plans were made.
o For Chassis MIB: authors are to post original documents, or a new
one within a few weeks. Cabletron proposal could be updated.
1
Originals are in archive.
o For Power Supply MIB: MIBs are to be submitted in a week, and about
ten are expected.
o The Aggregate MIB has been placed on the back burner.
