Subject: ILMI versus AToM

Hi,

I have some questions regarding ILMI and AToM. If somebody could help me
out.
Could we support both ILMI & AToM MIBs or is it redundant to implement both
of them?

From what I understand, ILMI was developped having in mind that there is no
SNMP agent in the ATM device. Also for AutoConfig, Address Registration,
...purposes.
If an SNMP agent is present and we want to have the AutoConfig option, ILMI
MIB will be included but accessed in-band via SNMP/AAL5.
In this case, for SNMP monitoring/configuration purposes, would we implement
AToM MIB? or the SNMP console would access only ILMI MIB?
Thank's for your help.

Regards,
