Hi, I like to suggest some changes to section 12 "Network Management" of <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-node-req-bis-05>.
--- OLD Network Management MAY be supported by IPv6 nodes. However, for IPv6 nodes that are embedded devices, network management may be the only possible way of controlling these nodes. NEW IPv6 nodes may support network management via the Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3) [RFC3411]. For IPv6 nodes that are embedded devices, network management via SNMPv3 may be the only possible way of controlling these nodes. Rationale: I think it is important to provide a explicit references to SNMPv3 to make it clear that SNMPv3 is the SNMP version to be implemented. --- OLD IP Forwarding Table MIB [RFC4292] SHOULD be supported by nodes that support an SNMP agent. NEW The IP-FORWARD-MIB module [RFC4292] SHOULD be supported by nodes that support an SNMP agent. Rationale I believe it is clearer to list the MIB module name instead of a paraphrase of the respective RFC title. --- OLD IP MIB [RFC4293] SHOULD be supported by nodes that support an SNMP agent. NEW The IP-MIB module [RFC4293] SHOULD be supported by nodes that support an SNMP agent. Implementation of the IPv6-MIB module [RFC2465] is only recommended for backward compatibility reasons since [RFC2465] has been obsoleted by [RFC4293]. Rationale: I believe it is clearer to list the MIB module name instead of a paraphrase of the respective RFC title. The second sentence should take care of ongoing confusion where people think they should implement the IPV6-MIB module for IPv6 nodes. --- /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1, 28759 Bremen, Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
