- Minutes of April 11, 1989
-
- Here are the minutes for the April 11, 1989 meeting of the LAN Manager
- MIB subgroup.
-
- For the benefit of newcomers, we began with an overview of LAN Manager
- and the subgroup's progress to date.
-
- We then discussed the issues put forward by Jim Greuel, coming to the
- following conclusions:
-
-
- 1. We felt that we did indeed want to support LAN Manager alerts in
- the first version of the LM MIB.
- 2. In order to accomplish (1) in an expedient manner, and avoid
- starting World War III, we decided to adhere strictly to the
- current SMI. Translated, this means:
-
- Do away with the event template. Show only the objects
- which trigger the events (eg, counters, gauges), and the
- objects associated with them.
- All pertinent information dealing with the conditions which
- trigger events/traps are to be explained in the definition
- portion of the appropriate object templates.
-
- 3. All ``event'' descriptions should have examples which show
- implementation under both SNMP and CMOT. For SNMP, either a new
- generic-trap (7) would be proposed, or the enterprise specific trap
- (6) would be used in conjunction with a ``LAN Manager'' enterprise.
- 4. We discussed the possibility of representing the objects associated
- with events/traps via tables.
- 5. We decided to provide only ``read-only'' objects. In particular,
- there will be no way of clearing the LAN Manager statistic objects
- via SNMP/CMOT. This is consistent with the definition of the
- statistic-like objects defined in RFC1066.
- 6. It was decided to do away with the use of the BITSTRING type,
- replacing it with OCTET STRINGs upon which we would impose a bit
- map interpretation.
-
-
- Concerning Microsoft's willingness to provide modifications/enhancements
- to the LAN Manager Admin API's: Amatzia read a formal statement from
- Microsoft indicating their consent to this, contingent on technical
- review and schedule considerations.
-
- Jim Greuel will make the agreed upon modifications to the main body of
- the document. Amatzia Ben-Artzi and Jeff Case volunteered to modify the
-

-
-
-
-
-
-
- ``event'' section of the document, Amatzia providing CMOT examples, Jeff
- SNMP examples. The goal is to put the revised document on the MIB WG
- mailing list as soon as possible, and have it discussed at the May 18
- MIB WG meeting.
