Subject: APPN DLUR-4 network management AP draft document available

The DLUR architecture network management chapter has been updated and
is available by anonymous FTP to ibmstandards.cary.ibm.com under the
name of aiw/dlur/dlur4ch4.psbin - the file is a PostScript file, but
treat it as binary when you get it and print it.  There are also
compressed versions of the file (aiw/dlur/dlur4ch4.zipbin and
aiw/dlur/dlur4ch4.exebin).

Mike Allen, this chapter's author, will provide more information about
the chapter at the end of this note.

I'm requesting comments on this chapter to be received no later than
June 9.  If there is a consensus for approval at that time, I will
consider this chapter to be at AP status as of June 10.  It will then be
included in the CP draft document, which should go out for review the
following week so that CP status can be requested at AIW5.

Chapter 4, Network Management
-----------------------------
This chapter has been updated with new material describing SNMP
management for a DLUR implementation.  Here are the key points:

   * The IETF SNA NAU MIB is used to represent the DLUR-supported PUs
     and LUs

   * A SNMP MIB is provided that models the following:

        - DLUR implementation capabilities
        - DLUR-related information about served PUs
        - Information about DLUSs

   * SNA alerts for DLUR problems

Comments are requested on all the material, of course.  In particular,
you will notice that the section on alerts contains a list of potential
alerts.  Comments are requested on this list (does it include all the
conditions that really need alerts, does it include conditions that
should not be alerts, etc.).  Work will begin immediately on drafting
the actual alerts.  They will be included in the CP draft document.

Please post comments to the DLUR mailing list.

The DLUR MIB is available in plain text form via anonymous FTP from
ibmstandards.cary.ibm.com (file /aiw/snasnmp/dlurmib.txt).
