Dear all,
The facts:
- The MIB doctors advised not to publish MIB modules under snmpModules
any longer. IANA updated the registry information. See
http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers/smi-numbers.xhtml#smi-numbers-61
- RFC 7360 is published with a mistake. The MIB module should have been
published under mib-2.235 (as advised by the MIB doctors) but the
document mentions: snmpModules.235
- The IANA registry is actually correct. snmpUsmHmacSha2MIB is under
mib-2.235
See http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers/smi-numbers.xhtml
- Solving this issue with an errata doesn't work: indeed MIB modules are
extracted from RFC, and used within scripts.
Discussing with Michelle (IANA) and the IESG, we had no other choices
than obsoleting this RFC and re-issuing a new one. Hence this errata and
draft-ietf-opsawg-hmac-sha-2-usm-snmp-new-00.
<http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-hmac-sha-2-usm-snmp-new/>
One change to keep in mind for the next version:
OLD:
REVISION "201508130000Z" -- 13 August 2015, midnight
DESCRIPTION "Initial version, published asRFC 7630
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7630>"
::= { snmpModules 235 }
NEW:
REVISION ... new date
DESCRIPTION "Initial version, published asRFC xxxx
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7630>"
::= { mib-2 235 }
The way forward is to publish a new draft ASAP with the above
correction, to have a one week IETF LC, and to publish the new RFC. At
that point (and not before because we don't have a replacement RFC), we
will obsolete RFC 7360.
Regards, Benoit
