Hello Frank,

Thanks for your response, inline.

Current -00 version of drafts do not have the contents about: how to encapsulate the security baseline information into SACM Information Model, how to send them to the collector by YANG push and pub/sub mechanisms, and how to adapt these information into SACM protocol, we will address these issues in following updated versions; 3. we do find that some YANG model has been defined in IETF WGs like netmod, i2rs, i2nsf, etc. But we also observe that: there are still some YANG model related with device security baseline are not defined yet (i.e., URPF, CPU defend, Keychain, Remote Login Security, etc); Even some YANG model (i.e., BGP, OSPF, SNMP, etc) has been defined in IETF, their security configuration and status part are not completed and have potential room for improvement. If we find the existing contents as you pointed, we'd like to reference them and will not reinvent the wheel.

Please use the Yangcatalog.org site to identify the YANG modules that already exist for the data that can be collected.  The next step would be to figure out if certain information is not available, what YANG modules should be extended to gather that information.  Or to create new YANG modules for that purpose.  Since you are talking about network devices, YANG is the way to go right now as that is where industry is heading.

Thank you,
Kathleen
