CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Marshall Rose/PSI SNMP Minutes Met jointly with Transmission MIB Working Group. Administrative: The group was reminded of the difference between the ``snmp'' and ``snmp-wg'' discussion groups, and urged to use the appropriate list when sending a message. Chuck Davin, IETF Area Director for Network Management, announced that the Transmission MIB Working Group had completed its Charter (producing several of the MIBs discussed at this meeting) and thanked the group for its effort. Following this, the Transmission MIB Working Group was disbanded. Any residual business will be taken on by the SNMP Working Group. The group was encouraged to study the SIP MIB, as it will be the first MIB on the agenda of the next meeting of the SNMP Working Group. DS1: There was some discussion on whether the boundary value for the ds1ValidIntervals should be 0 or 97. The former value was decided. Consensus: Recommend advancement to proposes standard status. DS3: There was some question as to whether a DS3 sendCode existed. If so, it should be added as a loopback feature in the ds3Loopback object. However, it was not felt that inclusion of the feature, if it existed, was necessary to advance this document (the feature could be added at a later date). As such, Tracy Cox was tasked to determine the existence of this feature within three weeks. At that time, the document should advance. Consensus: Recommend advancement to proposed standard status. 1 MIB-II: The use of the PhysAddress textual convention was clarified. There was lengthy discussion on the optional use of the implementation-dependent small positive integer when identifying instances of the IP address and routing tables (e.g., when two routing entries have the same destination). After too much discussion, this feature, introduced in MIB-II, was removed, in effect restoring the precise identification mechanisms used for these tables in MIB-I. It was suggested that a future work item would be an ``IP Extensions MIB'' which would provide support for these concepts. The ipRoutingDiscards object was added, which provides information when routes are lost due to a lack of buffer space. The definition of the egpNeighEventTrigger object was clarified. Consensus: Recommend advancement to draft standard status. Concise MIB Definitions: The ``INTEGER OPTIONAL'' magic was removed, to align with the decision with MIB-II. Consensus: Recommend advancement to proposed standard status. Trap Definitions: There was discussion as to why this document should be informational rather than being placed on the standards-track. Consensus: Recommend publication as informational RFC. Generic Interface Extensions: The ifExtensTestUser object was removed as being redundant. Consensus: Recommend advancement to proposed standard status. Token Bus MIB: 2 No substantive discussion. Consensus: Recommend advancement to proposed standard status. Token Ring MIB: One of the document's three editors publically introduced concerns which had been thought by the Chair to have been decided some four months earlier. Due to the lack of time in the meeting (already overtime), there was no possibility of resolving this at the meeting. The Chair attempted to resolve this in Open IESG plenary, and was initially successful. However, the IESG reversed its position the next morning and remanded the MIB back to the Working Group. No Consensus: Discuss at later time. Ether MIB: There were comments from many parties that this document required significant re-work. As such, discussion was postponed. Consensus: Remand document for futher discussion.
