Hi,
I agree.
I think there is one virtual shared configuration database that
contains all configuration regardless of the protocol(s) used to
access it.
yes -- this is what we have now with internal agent instrumentation
allowing various protocols to access various internal data structures.
SNMP has an tree populated with OIDs and NETCONF has a conceptual
XML instance document. How they overlap within internal agent
instrumentation is not relevant to the NETCONF WG.
And then there are protocol-specific representations (views) of this
shared configuration database.
yes -- this is what we have now. Different protocols with
different data model architectures accessing various subsets
of internal data structures on the agent.
This does not mean the NETCONF protocol needs to access the database
with special RPCs like <get-mib> and <set-mib>.
Each protocol has its own consistent view of the data, and the
agent handles any translation for multi-protocol access as
an implementation detail.

Hello Andy,
I have a problem with the terminology used in this mail-thread.
People are speaking about SNMP database, Netconf database
etc. IMHO we should speak about the
device's management database as the only database. Different
protocols, interfaces might
provide a complete or partial view to this database, but the
data is not owned by this or that
protocol as I understand.
