The IESG has approved the following Internet-Drafts as Proposed Standards: o Agent Extensibility (AgentX) Protocol <draft-ietf-agentx-rfc-update-03.txt>. This document obsoletes RFC2257, currently a Proposed Standard o Definitions of Managed Objects for Extensible SNMP Agents <draft-ietf-agentx-mib-05.txt>. These documents are the product of the SNMP Agent Extensibility Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and Randy Bush. Technical Summary This first memo defines a standardized framework for extensible SNMP agents. It defines processing entities called master agents and subagents, a protocol (AgentX) used to communicate between them, and the elements of procedure by which the extensible agent processes SNMP protocol messages. This memo obsoletes RFC 2257. This new revision has some fixes and clarifications that resulted from implementation experience and from interoperability testing. The 2nd memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes objects for managing SNMP agents that use the Agent Extensibility (AgentX) Protocol. Working Group Summary The WG has consensus on the two documents. Protocol Quality The documents were reviewed for the IESG by Bill Strahm and Bert Wijnen
