Hi folks, Thursday (1 November 2001)
I've just sent a first draft of 'Definitions of Managed Objects for
Service Location Protocol (SLP MIB)' to the Internet-Drafts editor and
posted a copy on the Printer Working Group (PWG) Anonymous FTP server in
the directory 'ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_SLP/' in the file:
<draft-mcdonald-svrloc-mib-00.txt> (November 2001) - full I-D
<draft-mcdonald-svrloc-mib-00.mib> (November 2001) - SMIv2 MIB
This draft SLP MIB compiles cleanly with Epilogue Emissary and SMICng.
This draft SLP MIB was developed as part of the SLP Project's efforts to
advance SLPv2 (RFC 2608) from Proposed Standard to Draft Standard on the
Internet 'standards track'.
The editors would like to thank: Pete St. Pierre (Sun) for his original
work on an SLP MIB in 1997; Erik Guttman (Sun) for compiling the
requirements for this SLP MIB for SLPv2; and Jim Muchow (Cisco) for
his helpful comments on the ASN.1 structure and compliance macros
in this SLP MIB.
Thanks to my co-editor Mark Bakke (Cisco) for first doing all the "heavy
lifting" by laying out his excellent UML model for the SLP MIB.
Cheers,
- Ira McDonald (co-editor of SLP MIB)

are subscribers-only. Please send comments directly to the editors
(Mark and me) and we'll cross post as required. Thanks.

I-D Editor, Thursday (1 November 2001)
Please place this independent submission in the Internet-Drafts
repository named:
<draft-mcdonald-svrloc-mib-00.txt> (November 2001)
Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines as set of managed objects that support
monitoring and configuration of Service Location Protocol Version 2
(SLPv2) [RFC2608] directory agents (DAs), service agents (SAs), and
user agents (UAs).
Please send the I-D announcement to the editors (above), because the
SLP Project at Source Forge <svrloc-discuss at lists.sourceforge.net> is a
subscribers-only mailing list.
Thanks very much,
- Ira McDonald (co-editor of SLP MIB)
