IETF Bridge WG Transition to IEEE 802.1 WG

Dave Harrington

Dan Romascanu

Vision Statement

Improve timeliness and effectiveness of standard MIB module development for 802.1 technologies

Distribute the editing/publishing work load Transition MIB module development to the

802.1 content experts Improve cross-SDO standardization of

management

Progress

Jan2004 – IEEE Interim Meeting Bernard Aboba (IETF/IEEE liaison), Bert Wijnen (IETF Area

Director), Dave Harrington, Dan Romascanu (Bridge WG co-chairs) meet with IEEE 802 Executive Committee and 802.x chairs to discuss cross-SDO cooperation

Agreement to appoint “default” liaisons in 802 and IETF Cross-organization review of new work Bridge MIB WG efforts will transition to 802.1 (pilot) IETF MIB Doctors will provide review

Progress

IEEE 802.1 MIB modules will be published in ASCII format, free of charge, at http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/MIBS.html

MIB Doctor reviews done for 802.1AB and 802.1AE drafts, which were updated to match IETF mib-review-guidelines (to a degree)

New IEEE standards work will include the corresponding MIB modules

Progress

Work on new MIB modules for existing IEEE standards, and IEEE updates of existing IETF MIB modules will require following IEEE PAR process

802.1s MIB module proposals and 5-criteria are now being considered for a PAR

MIB editors should attend IEEE meetings MIB editors need to learn IEEE style, starting

projects, voting rules, etc.
