Hi,


I think NETCONF configuration of the SNMP agent is a low priority for my company.
Besides configuring community strings, there is not much we need to support.
This represents a few CLI commands out of 1000s.

The small number of knobs we currently need to support SNMP Get operations are
already done, and this limited configurability is not holding back any of our
NMS developers.  

The tradition in the IETF is to let people have their sandbox, so if others
want to work on this, then that's great.  We don't have to agree on the
relative priority.  The IESG needs to worry about enough resources, proper review,
etc., but that's not usually a problem.

Looking forward, the operational data that SNMP provides is going to become
NETCONF data (via your SMIv2 mapping or N proprietary mappings), so the
SNMP agent is going to be less and less important over time.

I agree that configuring the SNMP agent is a self-contained problem,
and knowing how well NETCONF/YANG addresses self-contained modeling problems
is useful to know.  To that end, I would prefer configuring NTP or OSPF
as an exercise, rather than baggage-laden SNMP.


Andy

So you are saying there is no need for NETCONF since there is always a
proprietary CLI that does the job. Interesting late insights?

We do not claim this is a priority work item. I personally would
appreciate to see more YANG data models popping up in individual IDs.
But perhaps this is not welcome by everyone.
