Description of Working Group:

The 100VG-AnyLAN MIB Working Group is chartered to develop a set of
managed objects for IEEE 802.12 network interfaces and repeaters.
These objects will be the minimum necessary to provide the ability to
monitor and control these network interfaces and repeaters, and will be
consistent with the SNMP framework and existing SNMP standards.

The working group will consider as an important input Section 13 (Layer
Management Functions and Services), and Annex E (GDMO Specifications
for Demand Priority Managed Objects) in the current IEEE 802.12 Draft,
and will monitor and track the progress of that draft as it moves
toward IEEE standardization.  Furthermore, the working group will
follow the guidelines in the SNMPv2 SMI for mapping GDMO managed
objects for use with the Internet Network Management Framework.  In
addition, the working group will solicit vendor-specific MIB modules to
use as input to the working group.

This working group will produce two documents:

     Definitions of Managed Objects for IEEE 802.12 Interfaces

     Definitions of Managed Objects for IEEE 802.12 Repeater Devices

For the repeater portion of the MIB, the working group will make sure
that its work is aligned with the 802.3 Repeater MIB Working Group to
ensure that the two working groups produce a consistent framework for
the management of repeater devices.  As a result, development of the
repeater portion of the MIB will be done concurrently with, but
independently from, the interfaces portion of the MIB.  Furthermore,
the goals and milestones associated with the repeater portion of the
MIB are dependent upon the goals and milestones of the 802.3 Repeater
MIB Working Group.
