Bruno,

You might want to forward your message to the standards mailer for the IEEE802.1

group that created the standard. They are pretty good at answering questions regarding

the standards that they create.

The address is :

stds-802-1@ieee.org

Subject: 802.1x and TimeTicks

It looks like the IEEE8021-PAE-MIB attempts to redefine TimeTicks in
its definition of dot1xAuthSessionTime. The Net-SNMP code interprets
TimeTicks as per SNMPv2-SMI. I would propose that we resolve the
conflict in favor of the SNMPv2-SMI definition of TimeTicks. This would
apply to etsysDot1xAuthSessionTime in enterasys-8021x-extensions-mib.txt
as well.
 
Anyone feel like taking this up with the IEEE?
 
Thanks,
 
Bruno
