Capwap Mailing List: CAPWAP IESG Review Comment T39

[Pat Calhoun (pacalhou) (pcalhoun]

All,

Here is the IESG Review Comment:

   T39. Section 13 is insufficient. The recommendation concerning
non-configurability 
   of WTPs makes, sense, but what about the ACS? How are ACs configured?
It is OK to 
   say that they are configured by proprietary CLI and/or MIB interfaces
that will be 
   defined in other CAPWAP document and/or by NETCONF in the future, but
something 
   needs to be said. 

You are correct, the CAPWAP protocol does not provide management of the
AC. This is assumed to be done out of band. I am therefore proposing the
following text:

<text>
13.  Management Considerations
[...]
   The CAPWAP protocol does not deal with the management of the ACs.
   The AC is assumed to be configured through some separate management
   interface, which could be via a proprietary CLI, SNMP, NETCONF or
some
   other management protocol.
