The IESG has approved publication of the following Internet-Drafts as Standards: o An Architecture for Describing SNMP Management Frameworks <draft-ietf-snmpv3-arch-v2-02.txt> o Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) <draft-ietf-snmpv3-mpd-v2-02.txt> o SNMP Applications <draft-ietf-snmpv3-appl-v3-01.txt> o User-based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3) <draft-ietf-snmpv3-usm-v2-rfc2574bis-01.txt> o View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) <draft-ietf-snmpv3-vacm-v2-01.txt> These are editorial updates to RFCs 2571-2575 respectively, obsoleted by these new documents. These documents are the product of the SNMP Version 3 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and Randy Bush. Technical Summary "An Architecture for Describing SNMP Management Frameworks" describes an architecture for describing SNMP Management Frameworks. The architecture is designed to be modular to allow the evolution of SNMP protocol standards over time. The major portions of the architecture are an SNMP engine containing a Message Processing Subsystem, a Security Subsystem and an Access Control Subsystem, and possibly multiple SNMP applications which provide specific functional processing of management data. "Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)" describes Message Processing and Dispatching for SNMP messages within the SNMP architecture. It defines the procedures for dispatching potentially multiple versions of SNMP messages to the proper SNMP Message Processing Models, and for dispatching PDUs to SNMP applications. This document also describes one Message Processing Model - the SNMPv3 Message Processing Model. "SNMP Applications" describes five types of SNMP applications which make use of an SNMP engine as described in the SNMP Architecture. The types of applications described are Command Generators, Command Responders, Notification Originators, Notification Receivers, and Proxy Forwarders. This document also defines MIB modules for specifying targets of management operations, for notification filtering, and for proxy forwarding. "User-based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)" describes the User-based Security Model (USM) for SNMP version 3 for use in the SNMP architecture. It defines the Elements of Procedure for providing SNMP message level security. This document also includes a MIB for remotely monitoring/managing the configuration parameters for this Security Model. "View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)" describes the View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for use in the SNMP architecture. It defines the Elements of Procedure for controlling access to management information. This document also includes a MIB for remotely managing the configuration parameters for the View-based Access Control Model. Working Group Summary The working group spend some time and effort to make some more clarifications to these documents. There is WG consensus to advance these documents to Standard. Protocol Quality The documents have been reviewed for the IESG by Bert Wijnen and by Randy Bush.
