MSI Minutes

The following issues were discussed at the MSI Working Group session.


  o Online MIB Database and the Need for both GDMO and SNMP MIB
    Definitions:  The group discussed the requirement for an online MIB
    database that would be needed to support the translation of MSI
    requests and replies to and from protocol specific formats.  It was
    decided that the MSI document would make an explicit statement
    about the types of services that would be required from such a
    database, but would not attempt to fully define an interface to the
    data.  In addition, the issue with the need for both GDMO and SNMP
    versions of MIBs was discussed and also raised at the OIM meeting.
    It was decided that the Chairs of the OIM and MSI Working Groups
    would raise this as an issue with the Network Area Chair.

  o Access Control Change:  The format of the access control parameter
    was changed to be an AVL and the decision on the contents of the
    parameter was defined until the proposals for SNMP and CMOT
    authentication are stable.  Once these methods are stable, then the
    contents of the access control parameter for each protocol will be
    the subject of separate implementors agreements and will not be
    included directly in the MSI document.

  o Add ASN.1 Encodings for the MSI Parameters:  Oscar Newkerk agreed
    to add an appendix to the MSI document that will define that ASN.1
    structures and the object identifiers needed by the MSI.
