3426.0. "SMP or Secure SNMP Support?" by FOUR62::LICAUSE (Al Licause (338-5661)) Fri Jul 24 1992 12:21

Anyone care to comment on plans for either SMP or Secure SNMP for DECmcc or
is this best left to a discussion the the UCX (CONNECTIONS) notes file?

Notes from the UnderLAN seem to indicate that someone in Digital is working
very actively on this:

         "SMP could surpass both the present SNMP and OSI's CMIP.  Firms
          planning network management systems around CMIP may find it
          threatening.  A late 1991 IDC survey of 200 network managers
          indicated 57.5% considered OSI network management standard
          support critical.  Motorola's Network Management Strategies
          Manager Jim Moorhouse said SMP could divide the industry.  It is
          already dividing the vendor community.  Some firms, including
          Digital, plan to implement it as soon as they finish testing it.
          Others, including Cabletron, will wait until it has completed
          IETF's formal draft proposal process.  SMP will start shipping to
          clients as a free upgrade this week, without waiting for formal
          approval, which could take nine months or longer."
