RE: Question about IPv6 Management

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

We have been defining a number of things so that IP (or better Internet) addresses

can be represented in an IPversion neutral matter. See for example RFC3291.

 

We are checking all MIB modules to be IPv4 and IPv6 capable (unless a module

is for one specific IP version).

 

We have defined TCs so that we also have IPv6 transport addresses so that

SNMP can go over IPv6. See RFC3419

 

Various MIB modules are being reqorked in the IPv6 WG

 

Hope this helps

Thanks,Bert

Subject: Question about IPv6 Management

I appologize, this is being possted to multiple WG's as it seems to cross areas.

 

Is there any information about the requirment changes in the Network Management Systems (NMS) or Operations Support Systems (OSS) necesary to support IPv6?

 

I have looked at the various MIB RFC's and such, but can not find anything more than you need bigger address support and some SNMPv2 compliance.

 

This seems too simple to me.
