Subject: Protocol Action: Definitions of Managed Objects for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol to Proposed Standard

From: The IESG <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 10:15:55 -0500

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Definitions of Managed
Objects for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol'
<draft-ietf-vrrp-mib-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard.  This document is
the product of the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are David Oran and Rob Coltun.

Technical Summary
 
 This specification defines an extension to the Management Information
 Base (MIB) for use with SNMP-based network management.  In
 particular, it defines objects for configuring, monitoring, and
 controlling routers that employ the Virtual Router Redundancy
 Protocol (VRRP) specified in RFC 2338.

Working Group Summary

The working group supports advancement of this draft. There was
no significant dissent.

Protocol Quality

This draft has been reviewed by Bert Wijnen and Rob Coltun for the IESG.

There are a number of implementations.

Note to RFC Editor:

The IESG respectfully requests the following changes be made:
