I am responding to an RFP for a local college and the college asks the
following question:
" The Vendor shall discuss its product support or planned support on
the draft IEEE standard P802.3K, Layer Management for HUB devices"
Can anyone explain what this stardard is and do our management products
support this standard.
Thanks,
Sean

Try asking in the MOUSE::ETHERNET or ENGINE::HUB_MGNT notes conference. Chris | |||||

But notice that it is a DRAFT standard...
and note that we usually are prohibited from including future plans
in writing in response to RFPs.

| 2592.3 | What P802.3K is. | NYDVIA::ROWLEY | Tue Mar 24 1992 22:34 | 18 | |
I happened to come across an individual that new what P802.3k was.
It appears that an IEEE group is looking at what network management
protocol should be fostered in the future.
Currently, there are two schools of thought:
a, Create a super set of SNMP.
b, Further CMIP.
Since this is standard is in a draft status the above is only
conjecture. For those that need more information, some on in DECshould
be watching this draft process and maybe they can tell the field whats
going on.
I realize that I am NOT asking for PID info, just what the draft
standard is about.
Regards,
Sean
