- Minutes of the FDDI MIB Working Group (FDDIMIB)
-
- The FDDI MIB Working Group met on November 19, 1992 in Washington, D.C.
- This being the second meeting of the Group after a lengthy hiatus, the
- Chair invested the time to introduce the goals and for participants to
- introduce themselves to one another. The Agenda for the meeting was
- reviewed and adopted. The roster was circulated.
-
- A brief report was received on the standardization status of SMT 7.2
- within ANSI. Finalization is expected soon.
-
- The current draft was introduced, including the algorithms used for
- object inclusion and exclusion and the algorithms used for transforming
- objects between GDMO and the SNMP/SMI concise MIB format.
-
- The identified issues were discussed in turn:
-
-
- o PATHConfiguration
- The Group agreed that the inclusion of the PATHConfiguration
- information objects is desirable, given the relative costs and
- benefits. The Group discussed two proposals that have been
- advanced, one from Anil and one from Sal. The editor was directed
- to incorporate the PATHConfiguration information in the next draft
- based on Sal's suggested table format.
-
- o FddiTime
- The Group agreed to express FddiTime as a positive integer in 1
- nanosecond units. The editor was directed to include a complete,
- appropriate, example to eliminate the confusion surrounding two's
- complement.
-
- o Timestamp
- The Group agreed to rescale Timestamp to express it in 1
- millisecond units.
-
- o Correction of Equations and Relationships
- This is no longer a problem thanks to the assistance of Floyd Ross,
- who was able to supply machine readable text that could be
- successfully imported by the document's editor.
-
- o SMT <-> SNMP Index Mappings
- The Group was pleased with the current draft which includes sparse
- mappings of the index values to match SMT.
-
-
- The editor was directed to prepare a new draft to reflect these
- decisions and to have it posted to the internet-drafts directories.
