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.
