- CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
-
- Reported by Jeff Case/ U-Tenn
-
- The FDDI MIB Working Group last met on May 2 at the Pittsburgh meeting
- of the IETF. The meeting was held in conjunction with the Transmission
- MIB Working Group.
-
- The text of the current document draft was distributed and discussed.
- The majority of the current text comes from the pertinent sections of
- the ANSI FDDI SMT specification. That text has been recast to align
- with RFC conventions and to comply with the requirements of the SNMP,
- MIB, and SMI specifications. Only the minimal required changes to the
- variables have been made and only the SMT variables which were
- ``required'' have been retained. The goal is have as close a
- relationship between the SNMP and SMT management variables as is
- technically possible. In general, corresponding objects will have the
- same semantics although they will necessarily have different syntaxes.
-
- The FDDI Mib objects have been identified but have not yet been
- organized into the virtual tree structure. The engineering to map
- actions and events into appropriate SNMP variables and traps is being
- deferred until more progress is made on other portions of the document.
-
- There was considerable discussion of how to handle 64 bit timer values
- which occur relatively often in FDDI work. Two options were seriously
- considered:
-
-
- 1. a high longword and a low longword (two 32 bit integers)
- 2. a single octet string of length 8
-
-
- After discussion, the committee opted for option 2.
-
- Next Meeting:
-
- It was decided to meet again before the next general IETF meeting. The
- date of the next meeting is Tuesday afternoon June 12, 1990, in Dallas,
- Texas. This date and location was selected because several members of
- the working group will be attending other related meetings at that
- location on Tuesday morning and on Wednesday, resulting in better
- attendance and will maximize the positive impacts on travel time and
- budgets.
