  2. Trend #1: The SNMP-based Management Framework is Evolved and Evolving • Not the same old SNMP your mother used in 1988 • Many positive advancements already standardized, implemented, and deployed • Some more are nearly done and ready for implementation and deployment: • SNMP-based configuration • Policy-based Management MIB • Provisioning MIB for DIFFSERV • Some standardization work is just getting started: • SMIng • Evolution of SNMP: SNMP EOS

  3. Trend #2: The SNMP-based Management Framework is Secure • SNMPv3 with security and administration adds: • Security, i.e., Authentication and Privacy • Authentication • Privacy • Administration • Authorization and view-based access control • Logical contexts • Naming of entities, identities, and information • People and policies • Usernames and key management • Notification destinations and proxy relationships • Source-side notification suppression • Remotely configurable via SNMP operations

  4. Trend #3: The SNMP-based Management Framework Is Not Just For Networks • The SNMP-based Management Framework can be used as the basis for seamless Internet management: • traditional network management • system management • application management • service management • proxy management of legacy devices • The only relatively complete, open, multi-vendor, multi-platform, interoperable, standards-based management framework for seamless management

  5. Trend #4: The SNMP-based Management Framework is Sturdy • Originally “the short-term interim standard” • According to the pundits, has been on its last legs since 1988 to be eclipsed by a succession of replacements • SNMP-based management is still • growing • expanding scope • evolving • While “replacements” come and go

  6. Conclusions: • The Internet-Standard Management Framework based on SNMP is • Evolved • Secure • Not just for networks • Sturdy • But there is much more work to be done • Additional standards work • Better applications • Implementation • Deployment

  7. Conclusions: • SNMP-based management is far from perfect, but it continues to be the best game in town • The architecture and vision are fine • We need to execute to completion • Standardization work • Improvements • Read-write and read-create instrumentation for configuration / control / provisioning • Implementation • Completeness, Correctness, Ease-of-use • Applications • Deployment -- demand driven
