Internet-Draft         CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB            March 2009


1.  Introduction

   The CAPWAP Protocol [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-specification] defines
   a standard, interoperable protocol, which enables an Access
   Controller (AC) to manage a collection of Wireless Termination
   Points(WTPs).  CAPWAP supports the use of various wireless
   technologies by the WTPs, with one being specified in the CAPWAP
   Protocol Binding for IEEE 802.11
   [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211].

   This document defines a MIB module that can be used to manage CAPWAP
   implementations for IEEE 802.11 wireless binding.  This MIB module
   covers both configuration for WLAN and a way to reuse the MIB module
   defined in IEEE 802.11 standard.

2.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
   RFC 3410 [RFC3410].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
   [RFC2580].

3.  Terminology

   This document uses terminology from the CAPWAP Protocol specification
   [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-specification], the CAPWAP Protocol Binding
   for IEEE 802.11 [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211] and
   CAPWAP Protocol Base MIB [I-D.ietf-capwap-base-mib].

   Access Controller (AC): The network entity that provides WTP access
   to the network infrastructure in the data plane, control plane,
   management plane, or a combination therein.

   Wireless Termination Point (WTP): The physical or network entity that
   contains an RF antenna and wireless PHY to transmit and receive
   station traffic for wireless access networks.

   Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP): It is a
   generic protocol defining AC and WTP control and data plane
   communication via a CAPWAP protocol transport mechanism.  CAPWAP

Internet-Draft         CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB            March 2009


   control messages, and optionally CAPWAP data messages, are secured
   using Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) [RFC4347].

   CAPWAP Control Channel: A bi-directional flow defined by the AC IP
   Address, WTP IP Address, AC control port, WTP control port and the
   transport-layer protocol (UDP or UDP-Lite) over which CAPWAP control
   packets are sent and received.

   CAPWAP Data Channel: A bi-directional flow defined by the AC IP
   Address, WTP IP Address, AC data port, WTP data port, and the
   transport-layer protocol (UDP or UDP-Lite) over which CAPWAP data
   packets are sent and received.

   Station (STA): A device that contains an interface to a wireless
   medium (WM).

   Split and Local MAC: The CAPWAP protocol supports two modes of
   operation: Split and Local MAC.  In Split MAC mode all L2 wireless
   data and management frames are encapsulated via the CAPWAP protocol
   and exchanged between the AC and the WTPs.  The Local MAC mode of
   operation allows for the data frames to be either locally bridged, or
   tunneled as 802.3 frames.

   Wireless Binding: The CAPWAP protocol is independent of a specific
   WTP radio technology, as well its associated wireless link layer
   protocol.  Elements of the CAPWAP protocol are designed to
   accommodate the specific needs of each wireless technology in a
   standard way.  Implementation of the CAPWAP protocol for a particular
   wireless technology MUST define a binding protocol for it, e.g., the
   binding for IEEE 802.11, provided in
   [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211].

   WLAN: The WLAN refers to a logical component instantiated on a WTP
   device.  A single physical WTP may operate a number of WLANs.  Each
   Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) and its constituent wireless
   terminal radios is denoted as a distinct WLAN on a physical WTP.  To
   support a physical WTP with multiple WLANs is an important feature
   for CAPWAP protocol's 802.11 binding, and it is also for MIB module
   design.

   Wireless Binding MIB Module: Other Standards Developing Organizations
   (SDOs), such as IEEE already defined MIB module for a specific
   wireless technology, e.g., the MIB module in IEEE 802.11 standard
   [IEEE.802-11.2007].  Such MIB modules are called as wireless binding
   MIB module defined by other SDOs.

   CAPWAP Protocol Wireless Binding MIB Module: It is a MIB module
   corresponding to CAPWAP Protocol Binding for a Wireless binding.

Internet-Draft         CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB            March 2009


   Sometimes, not all the technology-specific message elements in a
   CAPWAP binding protocol have MIB objects defined by other SDOs.  For
   example, the protocol of [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211]
   defines WLAN conception.  Also, Local or Split MAC modes could be
   specified for a WLAN.  The MAC mode for a WLAN is not in the scope of
   IEEE 802.11 [IEEE.802-11.2007].  In such cases, in addition to the
   existing wireless binding MIB modules defined by other SDOs, a CAPWAP
   protocol wireless binding MIB module is required to be defined for a
   wireless binding.

4.  Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

5.  Overview

5.1.  Requirements and Constraints

   The MIB module in IEEE 802.11 standard [IEEE.802-11.2007] already has
   MIB objects definition for most IEEE 802.11 Message Elements in the
   the CAPWAP Protocol Binding for IEEE 802.11
   [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211].  As a CAPWAP Protocol
   802.11 binding MIB module, the CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB module MUST be able
   to reuse such MIB objects in the IEEE 802.11 MIB module.  Also, the
   functions such as MAC mode for WLAN in the
   [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211] are not in the scope of
   IEEE 802.11 standard.  The CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB module MUST support such
   functions.

   In summary, the CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB module is designed to satisfy the
   following requirements and constraints:

   - Could easily reuse wireless binding MIB module in the IEEE 802.11
   standard;

   - From AC to centrally manage and configure WLAN;

   - Operators could configure MAC type and tunnel mode for a specific
   WLAN.

5.2.  Mechanism of Reusing Wireless Binding MIB Module

   Before coming to details of CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB module, it will
   introduce how it is able to reuse the MIB module in IEEE 802.11
   standard.  According to [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211],
   each WLAN is identified by WLAN Id.  In the MIB module of IEEE 802.11



Shi, et al.             Expires September 4, 2009               [Page 5]


Internet-Draft         CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB            March 2009


   standard, the MIB tables such as Dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsTable
   are able to support wireless configuration (such as authentication
   algorithm), and these tables use ifIndex as index.  To support 802.11
   parameters for a specific WLAN, and consider that the operator has to
   prepare configurations for each WLAN on the AC before WTPs connect to
   AC.  A WLAN could be abstracted as a 'WLAN Service Interface' on the
   AC, and which could be identified by ifIndex.  The MIB objects in the
   MIB module of IEEE 802.11 standard which are associated with this
   interface can be used to configure WLAN parameters for a WLAN, such
   as Authentication Algorithm.  On the AC, the MIB table
   CapwapDot11WlanTable in the CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB module will indicate the
   mapping relation between a 'WLAN Id" and ifIndex of a 'WLAN Service
   Interface'.  With ifIndex of a 'WLAN Service Interface', system is
   able to reuse the MIB module in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

   In the CAPWAP-BASE-MIB module, each PHY radio is identified by WTP Id
   and radio ID, and has a corresponding 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface'
   on the AC.  The IEEE 802.11 MIB module associated with this interface
   can be used to configure IEEE 802.11 wireless binding parameters for
   radio such as RTS Threshold.  The 'WLAN BSS Interface', created by
   binding 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface' and WLAN, is used for data
   forwarding.

6.  Structure of the MIB Module

   The MIB objects were derived from the CAPWAP protocol binding for
   802.11 document [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211].

   1) capwapDot11WlanTable

   The table is used for providing configuration such as MAC type and so
   on for WLANs.  For a specific WLAN which is identified by
   capwapDot11WlanId, an interface of 'WLAN Service Interface' ifType
   will be created.  By the ifIndex of interface, it provides a way to
   reuse the MIB module in IEEE 802.11 standard.  For example, according
   to [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211], Auth Type needs to
   be configured for a WLAN.  In the IEEE 802.11 MIB module, the MIB
   object dot11AuthenticationAlgorithm in the
   dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsTable is corresponding to Auth Type.
   Considering both capwapDot11WlanTable and
   dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsTable use ifIndex as index, CAPWAP-
   DOT11-MIB module are able to easily reuse
   dot11AuthenticationAlgorithm object in IEEE 802.11 MIB module.  It is
   same for other objects in the MIB module of IEEE 802.11 standard.

   2) capwapDot11WlanBindTable

   The table provides a way to bind WLAN to a radio, then supports

Internet-Draft         CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB            March 2009


   multiple WLANs on a physical WTP.  The binding operation will
   dynamically create 'WLAN BSS Interface', and this logical interface
   is used for data forwarding function.

7.  Relationship to Other MIB Modules

7.1.  Relationship to SNMPv2-MIB Module

   The 'system' group in the SNMPv2-MIB [RFC3418] is defined as being
   mandatory for all systems, and the objects apply to the entity as a
   whole.  The 'system' group provides identification of the management
   entity and certain other system-wide data.  The CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB
   module does not duplicate those objects.

7.2.  Relationship to IF-MIB Module

   The Interfaces Group [RFC2863] defines generic managed objects for
   managing interfaces.  This memo contains the media-specific
   extensions to the Interfaces Group for managing WLAN that are modeled
   as interfaces.

   For each WLAN, it will have a logical interface of 'WLAN Service
   Interface' responding to it on the AC.  The interface MUST be modeled
   as an ifEntry and provide appropriate interface information.  'WLAN
   Service Interface' provides a way to configure IEEE 802.11 parameters
   for a specific WLAN, and reuse the MIB module in IEEE 802.11
   standard.

   Also, the system (AC) MUST have a mechanism that preserves the values
   of ifIndex of 'WLAN Service Interface' ifType in the ifTable at AC
   reboot.

   To provide data forwarding service, system will dynamically create
   logical interface of 'WLAN BSS Interface'.  The interface MUST be
   modeled as an ifEntry and provide appropriate interface information.
   The interface enables a single physical WTP to support multiple
   WLANs.

   Also, the system (AC) MUST have a mechanism that preserves the values
   of ifIndex of 'WLAN BSS Interface' ifType in the ifTable at AC
   reboot.

7.3.  Relationship to CAPWAP-BASE-MIB Module

   The CAPWAP-BASE-MIB module provides a way to manage and control WTP
   and radio objects.  Especially, CAPWAP-BASE-MIB module has a
   mechanism of 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface' which enable system to
   reuse the MIB module in IEEE 802.11 standard.  With it, operator



Shi, et al.             Expires September 4, 2009               [Page 7]


Internet-Draft         CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB            March 2009


   could configure an IEEE 802.11 AP radio's parameter and query radio's
   traffic statistics.  Based on CAPWAP-BASE-MIB module, CAPWAP-DOT11-
   MIB module provides more information from WLAN perspective.

7.4.  Relationship to MIB Module in IEEE 802.11 Standard

   Through ifIndex of 'WLAN Service Interface' and 'WLAN BSS Interface'
   ifType, the MIB module is able to reuse MIB module in the IEEE 802.11
   standard [IEEE.802-11.2007].  The CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB module does not
   duplicate those objects in the MIB module of IEEE 802.11 standard.

   In the CAPWAP Protocol Binding for IEEE 802.11
   [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211], it involves a part of
   MIB objects defined by IEEE 802.11 standard.  Although CAPWAP-DOT11-
   MIB module uses it [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211] as a
   reference, it could reuse all the MIB objects in the IEEE 802.11
   standard , and not limited by the scope of CAPWAP Protocol Binding
   for IEEE 802.11.

7.5.  MIB modules required for IMPORTS

   The following MIB modules are required for IMPORTS: SNMPv2-SMI
   [RFC2578], SNMPv2-TC [RFC2579], SNMPv2-CONF [RFC2580], IF-MIB
   [RFC2863] and CAPWAP-BASE-MIB [I-D.ietf-capwap-base-mib].

8.  Example of CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB Module Usage

   The following is a whole example for configuration and management of
   WTP, radio and WLAN for IEEE 802.11 binding.

   1) Identify the PHY radio by 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface'

   According to [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-specification], each radio on
   a WTP will be identified by a radio Id.  Each WTP could be identified
   by its serial number.

   Suppose a WTP's serial number is '12345678', and first radio id is 1.
   On the AC, the ifIndex of interface in 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface'
   ifType is 10 which represents the PHY radio 1.  The following
   information is obtained in the CapwapBaseWirelessBindingTable.

      In CapwapBaseWirelessBindingTable
      {
        capwapBaseWtpStateWtpId                         = '12345678',
        capwapBaseWirelessBindingRadioId                = 1,
        capwapBaseWirelessBindingVirtualRadioIfIndex    = 10,
        capwapBaseWirelessBindingType                   = dot11(2)
      }

Internet-Draft         CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB            March 2009


   By the mechanism of 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface', it seems WTP PHY
   radios are located on the AC.  The interface of 'WTP Virtual Radio
   Interface' ifType is modeled by ifTable [RFC2863].

      In ifTable
      {
        ifIndex              = 10,
        ifDescr              = 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface',
        ifType               = xxx,
   RFC Editor - please replace xxx with the value
   allocated by IANA for IANAifType of 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface'
        ifMtu                = 0,
        ifSpeed              = 0,
        ifPhysAddress        = '000000',
        ifAdminStatus        = true,
        ifOperStatus         = false,
        ifLastChange         = 0,
        ifInOctets           = 0,
        ifInUcastPkts        = 0,
        ifInDiscards         = 0,
        ifInErrors           = 0,
        ifInUnknownProtos    = 0,
        ifOutOctets          = 0,
        ifOutUcastPkts       = 0,
        ifOutDiscards        = 0,
        ifOutErrors          = 0
       }

   2) Configure specific wireless binding parameters for 'WTP Virtual
   Radio Interface'

   It will be done on the AC through the MIB module defined in IEEE
   802.11 standard.

   For example, to configure parameter for 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface'
   by Dot11OperationTable [IEEE.802-11.2007].

      In Dot11OperationTable
      {
        ifIndex                         = 10,
        dot11MACAddress                 = 0.0.0.0.0.0,
        dot11RTSThreshold               = 2347,
        dot11ShortRetryLimit            = 7,
        dot11LongRetryLimit             = 4,
        dot11FragmentationThreshold     = 256,
        dot11MaxTransmitMSDULifetime    = 512,
        dot11MaxReceiveLifetime         = 512,
        dot11ManufacturerID             = 'capwap',
        dot11ProductID                  = 'capwap'
      }

   In the example, it supposes ifIndex of a 'WTP Virtual Radio
   Interface' is 10.

   3) Configure WLAN

   WLAN configuration will be done through CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB Module, and
   the MIB module defined in IEEE 802.11 standard

   First step is to create a 'WLAN Service Interface' through CAPWAP-
   DOT11-MIB Module on the AC.

   Here supposes to configure a WLAN which is identified by
   capwapDot11WlanId 1, and CapwapDot11WlanTable would create a row
   object for it.

      In CapwapDot11WlanTable
      {
        capwapDot11WlanId                 = 1,
        capwapDot11WlanServiceIfIndex     = 20,
        capwapDot11WlanMacType            = splitMAC(2),
        capwapDot11WlanTunnelMode         = dot3Tunnel(2),
        capwapDot11WlanRowStatus          = create
      }

   The creation operation of a row object would trigger AC system to
   automatically create a 'WLAN Service Interface' and it is identified
   by ifIndex 20.  It does not require operator to manually create a
   'WLAN Service Interface'.

   Corresponding to 'WLAN Service Interface', it MUST be modeled as an
   ifEntry on the AC and provide appropriate interface information.
   CapwapDot11WlanTable would keep the mapping relationship between
   capwapDot11WlanId and ifIndex of a 'WLAN Service Interface'.

      In ifTable
      {
        ifIndex              = 20,
        ifDescr              = 'WLAN Service Interface',
        ifType               = xxx,
   RFC Editor - please replace xxx with the value
   allocated by IANA for IANAifType of 'WLAN Service Interface'
        ifMtu                = 0,
        ifSpeed              = 0,
        ifPhysAddress        = 0.0.0.0.0.0,
        ifAdminStatus        = true,
        ifOperStatus         = true,
        ifLastChange         = 0,
        ifInOctets           = 0,
        ifInUcastPkts        = 0,
        ifInDiscards         = 0,
        ifInErrors           = 0,
        ifInUnknownProtos    = 0,
        ifOutOctets          = 0,
        ifOutUcastPkts       = 0,
        ifOutDiscards        = 0,
        ifOutErrors          = 0
      }

   Second step is to configure WLAN parameters of 'WLAN Service
   Interface' through the MIB module defined in IEEE 802.11 standard on
   the AC.

   Suppose operator to configure authentication algorithm for a WLAN.

      In Dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsTable
      {
        ifIndex                                = 20,
        dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsIndex     = 1,
        dot11AuthenticationAlgorithm           = Shared Key,
        dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsEnable    = true
      }

   Here ifIndex 20 is for interface of 'WLAN Service Interface' ifType.
   Suppose the index of authentication algorithm is 1.

   4) Bind WLAN to WTP radio

   On the AC, through CapwapDot11WlanBindTable in the CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB,
   it configures which WLAN (identified by capwapDot11WlanId) will be
   provided on which 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface' (identified by
   ifIndex).

Internet-Draft         CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB            March 2009


   Here supposes to bind a WLAN (capwapDot11WlanId is 1) with a
   interface of 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface'(ifIndex is 10).  The
   CapwapDot11WlanBindTable would create a row object for it.

      In CapwapDot11WlanBindTable
      {
        ifIndex                            = 10,
        capwapDot11WlanId                  = 1,
        capwapDot11WlanBindBssIfIndex      = 30,
        capwapDot11WlanBindBssRowStatus    = create
      }

   Suppose capwapDot11WlanMacType of WLAN is splitMAC(2), the creation
   operation of a row object on the CapwapDot11WlanBindTable would
   trigger AC system to automatically create a 'WLAN BSS Interface' and
   it is identified by ifIndex 30.  It does not require operator to
   manually create a 'WLAN BSS Interface'.

   Corresponding to 'WLAN BSS Interface', it MUST be modeled as an
   ifEntry on the AC and provide appropriate interface information.
   CapwapDot11WlanBindTable would keep the mapping relationship among
   ifIndex of a 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface', WLAN and ifIndex of a
   'WLAN BSS Interface'.

   5) WTP reports its current configuration status

   After join phase and before WTP get configuration from AC, it will
   report its current configuration status to AC through configuration
   status request message.  The MIB data will be updated on the AC.  As
   an example, for ifIndex 10 (which identifies an interface of 'WLAN
   Virtual Radio Interface' ifType), its ifOperStatus in ifTable will be
   updated with current radio operational status.

   6) Query WTP and radio statistics data

   After WTPs come to run status, operator could query WTP and radio
   statistics data through CAPWAP-BASE-MIB and CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB module.
   For example, through dot11CountersTable [IEEE.802-11.2007], operator
   could query counter data for radio which is identified by ifIndex of
   a 'WLAN Virtual Radio Interface'.

   7) Query other statistics data

   For example, operator could query the configuration of WLAN through
   Dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsTable [IEEE.802-11.2007] and statistic
   data of 'WLAN BSS Interface' through ifTable;

         capwapDot11WlanTable would trigger AC system to automatically
         create a 'WLAN Service Interface' and it is identified by
         ifIndex. It does not require operator to manually create a
         'WLAN Service Interface'.
         Before WTPs connect to AC and get configuration, operator
         will prepare configuration for them. For a specific WLAN,
         a logical interface of 'WLAN Service Interface'
         ifType will be created by system, and operator could
         configure WLAN parameter through it.
         For example, according to IEEE 802.11 '6.1. IEEE 802.11
         Add WLAN' in the [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211],
         operator could configure Auth Type for a WLAN. The 'WLAN
         Service Interface' provides a way to uniquely identify each
         WLAN by logical on the AC. As most MIB modules use ifIndex to
         identify an interface for configuration and statistic data,
         for example, dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsTable in IEEE 802.11
         MIB module use ifIndex as index, and
         dot11AuthenticationAlgorithm object is for Auth Type mentioned
         in the CAPWAP '6.1. IEEE 802.11 Add WLAN'
         [I-D.ietf-capwap-protocol-binding-ieee80211], With the way of
         'WLAN Service Interface', it will easily reuse MIB table like
         dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsTable in the IEEE 802.11 standard,
         while only care for other configurations like

10.  Security Considerations

   There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
   with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.  Such
   objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
   environments.  The support for SET operations in a non-secure
   environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
   network operations.  The followings are the tables and objects and
   their sensitivity/vulnerability:

   o  - Unauthorized changes to the capwapDot11WlanTable and
      capwapDot11WlanBindTable may disrupt allocation of resources in
      the network, also change the behavior of WLAN system such as MAC
      type.

   SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
   Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
   even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
   allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
   in this MIB module.

   It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
   provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
   including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
   authentication and privacy).

   Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
   RECOMMENDED.  Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
   enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator
   responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
   instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
   the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
   rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.

11.1.  IANA Considerations for CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB Module

        The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned
        OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:

        Descriptor        OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
        ----------        -----------------------

        capwapDot11MIB  { mib-2 XXX }

11.2.  IANA Considerations for ifType

   Require IANA to assign a ifType for 'WLAN Service Interface' type.

   Require IANA to assign a ifType for 'WLAN BSS Interface' type.

12.  Contributors

   This MIB module is based on contributions from Long Gao.

   T1.  T4.  In order for ifIndex to be used as a common handler for the
   CAPWAP MIB and for the interface specific MIB modules like a dot11
   MIB from IEEE one needs to ensure that the same numbering scheme and
   mapping is used by all MIB modules, and that it behaves identically
   for events like interface card swapping, reset or power loss.  I do
   not see how this can happen, I am not sure that this is possible at

   all, and in any case there is no text in the document that explains
   this mechanism.

   --------------------------------------------------------------

   In the Capwap Digest, Vol 39, Issue 4, we gave the text to explain a
   mechanism that preserves the values of ifIndex, Request mailing list
   to confirm it.

   In the section of "Relationship to the IF-MIB", add text:

   Also, the system (AC) MUST have a mechanism that preserves the values
   of ifIndex of 'WLAN Service Interface' ifType in the ifTable at AC
   reboot.

   Also, the system (AC) MUST have a mechanism that preserves the values
   of ifIndex of 'WLAN BSS Interface' ifType in the ifTable at AC
   reboot.

   T2.  Is the WLAN Service interface described in Section 7.2 modeled
   by capwapDot11WlanConfigTable?  If so please say it and make this
   clear by using a more explicit naming convention.  The model here is
   not clear to me.  On one hand you say 'the interface SHOULD be
   modeled as an ifEntry ...'  Why only a SHOULD and not a MUST?  What
   is the procedure for the manager?  Is he looking for all 802.11
   interfaces on the AC and then creates manually a WLAN Service entry
   in the table for each?  What if the ifNumber does not correspond to a
   802.11 interface?  What if the 802.11 interface disappears?

   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   1) The "WLAN Service interface" is modeled by
   capwapDot11WlanConfigTable, and capwapDot11WlanConfigTable is rename
   as capwapDot11WlanTable.

   2) Yes, the the interface MUST be modeled as an ifEntry, not SHOULD
   be

   3) What is the procedure for the manager?  Is he looking for all
   802.11 interfaces on the AC and then creates manually a WLAN Service
   entry in the table for each?

   Please refer to the section of Example of CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB Module
   Usage (the section is updated in the new version).

   The creation operation of a row object on capwapDot11WlanTable would
   trigger system to create "WLAN service Interface", and it does not
   require operator to manually create a "WLAN service Interface".

   In the section of "Relationship to the IF-MIB", add text:

   Also, the system (AC) MUST have a mechanism that preserves the values
   of ifIndex of 'WLAN Service Interface' ifType in the ifTable at AC
   reboot.

   T3.  What 'could be always enabled' means for ifAdminStatus and
   ifOperStatus in the WLAN Service Interface table?  Either change this
   to MUST or explain in what cases these should be other than enabled.

   --------------------------------------------------------------

   The section for interpration of specific MIB objects in the iftable
   was removed in the new version.  Reader could refer to RFC2863

   T4.  What does the statement that 'the other objects such as
   ifInOctets ... are unused' relative to the VLAN Service interface
   mean?  Counters are always zero?

   --------------------------------------------------------------

   The section for interpration of specific MIB objects in the iftable
   was removed in the new version.  Reader could refer to RFC2863

   T5.  In 7.4 - does the text mean that the manager can reuse objects
   from the IEEE 802.11 MIB modules, or that values of these objects are
   being duplicates in this MIB module? (why?  Which ones?)  In any case
   the IEEE 802.11 standard that defines these objects must be a
   Normative Reference for this document.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   Yes

   1)the text mean that the manager can reuse objects from the IEEE
   802.11 MIB modules, and the section of "Mechanism of Reusing Wireless
   Binding MIB Module" give explain to it.

   2) also, add one text of "The CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB module does not
   duplicate those objects in the MIB module of IEEE 802.11 standard."
   in the section of "7.4.  Relationship to MIB Module in IEEE 802.11
   Standard"

   3) yes, IEEE 802.11 standard was added as a Normative Reference.

   T6.  The RFCs that define all MIB modules required for IMPORTSs must
   be Normative References to this document.

   T7.  The value of the object capwapBaseWTPId in the example is the
   string '12345678' not the integer 12345678

   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   Yes, it is change into '12345678'

   T8.  The names of the objects in the capwapDot11WlanConfigTable are
   not consistent (similar prefix) to capwapDot11WlanConfigEntry.

   ---------------------------------------------------------

   Yes, they are changed with:

   mode can be configured (one bit set)?  I assume this does not include
   the bit unused(0).  What happens if the manager sets more than one
   bit, ore no bit, or unused(0) - how does the agent behave in this
   case?

   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   1) Yes, unused(0) is removed.

   2) The description is updated with:

   Bits are exclusive with each other for a specific WLAN Id, and only
   one tunnel mode could be configured.  If operator set more than one
   bit, the value of the Response-PDU's error-status field is set to
   `wrongValue', and the value of its error-index field is set to the
   index of the failed variable binding."

   T11.  What is the persistency of the capwapDot11WlanTunnelMode at
   agent reboot?  Is the whole table persistent at agent reboot?

   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   Yes, it should be whole table persistent instead of previous
   statement "Values of all read-create objects in this table are
   persistent at restart/reboot."

   T12.  I do not understand how does row creation in the
   capwapDot11WlanBindTable work.  It is indexed by ifIndex and
   capwapDot11WlanId.  The only visible object in this table except
   RowStatus is capwapDot11WlanBssIfIndex which is read-only and the
   description says that 'it is the same interface as identified by the
   same value of ifIndex.  But the manager cannot read its value until
   the row exists.  How does the manager know its value in order to
   create the row in the table?

   ----------------------------------------------------------------

   The old description would lead to misunderstanding when it says "The
   interface identified by a particular value of this index is the same
   interface as identified by the same value of ifIndex".  In fact, the
   ifIndex here is not a ifIndex in the INDEX { ifIndex (it is a
   "Wireless virtual radio interface), capwapDot11WlanId }, while it is
   a "WLAN "WLAN BSS Interface".

   To clarify it, the following text is added to the description of
   capwapDot11WlanBindBssIfIndex:

   The ifIndex here is for an interface of 'WLAN BSS Interface'.  For a
   WLAN configuration on a radio, an interface of 'WLAN BSS Interface'
   will correspond to it.  The creation operation of a row object on the
   capwapDot11WlanBindTable would trigger AC system to automatically
   create a 'WLAN BSS Interface' and it is identified by ifIndex.  It
   does not require operator to manually create a 'WLAN BSS Interface'.

Internet-Draft         CAPWAP Protocol Binding MIB            March 2009


   For the table of capwapDot11WlanBindTable, the description is updated
   with the following text:

   A table of objects that configure which WLAN (identified by
   capwapDot11WlanId) will be provided on which 'WTP Virtual Radio
   Interface' (identified by ifIndex) Also, display and control the
   mapping relationship between interface of 'WTP Virtual Radio
   Interface' interface and interface of 'WLAN BSS Interface'.  The PHY
   address for interface of 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface' ifType will be
   base BSSID address for PHY radio.

   Values of all bjects in this table are persistent at restart/reboot.

   For the table of capwapDot11WlanBindEntry, the description is updated
   with the following text:

   A set of objects that display the mapping relationship between
   interface of 'WTP Virtual Radio Interface' and interface of 'WLAN BSS
   Interface'.  The Index object ifIndex is a ifIndex of a 'WTP Virtual
   Radio Interface'.

   T13.  Is the capwapDot11WlanBindTable persistent at agent reboot?

   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   Yes, The whole table is persistent at restart/reboot.

   E1.  Not all acronyms are expanded at first occurrence - e.g.  WTP

   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   The Terminology section is updated with more Terminology such as
   CAPWAP,WTP,AC, Wireless Binding,Split and Local MAC and so on.

   E2.  Please avoid using the construct 'the MIBs' (e.g. in Section 5).
   s/the MIBs/the MIB modules/

   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   use either "MIB module" or "MIB modules" in the document

   E3.  There is no need to include sections 6.1 and 6.2, they provide
   no new or specific information for this MIB module.

   ----------------------------------------------------------------

   Yes, they were removed

   E4.  I suggest for this document to be verified by a native English
   speaker for English spelling and grammar.

   E5. ifIndex, ifDescr, ifName, ifAlias in the WLAN Service Interface
   and WLAN BSS Interface table contain no specific information, I
   suggest to just mention that they are used as per RFC 2863

   --------------------------------------------------------------

   The section for interpration of specific MIB objects in the iftable
   was removed in the new version.  Reader could refer to RFC2863

Other changes made by authors:
1) reorganized the section of overview, and divided it into the
following sub sections:
   5.  Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  5
     5.1.  Requirements and Constraints . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  5
     5.2.  Mechanism of Reusing Wireless Binding MIB Module . . . . .  5

2) Update some words in the section of" Example of CAPWAP-DOT11-MIB
Module Usage, especially explain how interfaces of
"WLAN service Interface" and "WLAN BSS Interface" are created.

3) Modify the value scope of CapwapDot11WlanIdTC from (1, 16) to
(1, 512), and description of it.
