Re: SNMP Management for IPSec Devices

[Barbara Fraser <byfraser@cisco.com>]

Ted and I were just discussing these documents. According to Uri, our MIB 
advisor, it's ok if the documents advance as they currently exist. Given 
that we're going to be needing new MIBs for SOI, does it make sense to 
spend the effort here? Earlier discussion on the list indicated that the 
flow monitoring MIB has been implemented by some number of folks.
