RE: Goals for netconf - moving towards the charter description

Ran,

Thank you for the clarification.  According to your opinion that netconf
will not address inventory mgmt nor fault configuration.  But they are
part of the configuration file for the IP device as well (or not? I may
be wrong in assuming what do you mean by an IP device) and how are we
going to address the need to bring up the configuration of an IP device
at reboot time where the fault manipulation by the device requires
re-configuration?  

As for the question regarding diag/testing for the IP device, don't
people use 'ping' or 'traceroute' to do diag/testing all the time?

Not the focus, though might be included (e.g. SNMP Trap collectors
might be configured using proprietary XML moved around by the mechanism
being discussed here).

I have no clue what you mean in (3.) above.

And what you've missed is that our focus is on IP-centric devices, IMHO.
