How bad is it in NH/MA Bob? It is the tundra in NJ! Spring will never come!) Character MIB: -- You use the words "experimental portion in" in the Introduction? Should you say "extension to" instead. This MIB is not an experimental MIB? -- have you gotten an ifType from IANA? -- InterfaceIndex does not pass MOSY (warning) From mosy: warning: object "charPortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" warning: object "charSessPortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" What are we doing about this issue? -- charSessConnectId is an InstancePointer: what does it point to? First accessible object in the MIB? -- charAsyncGroup is not defined as an OBJECT-GROUP same for charSyncGroup (There are no other objects in MIB; every object is in charGroup?) -- charPortSessionMaximum should have a SYNTAX of INTEGER if it is to be further bounded; see RFC1442. Same with charPortSessionIndex. Same with charSessIndex. Parallel-printer-like MIB: -- You use the words "experimental portion in" in the Introduction? Should you say "extension to" instead. This is not an experimental MIB? -- InterfaceIndex does not pass MOSY (warning) From mosy: warning: object "paraPortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" warning: object "paraInSigPortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" warning: object "paraOutSigPortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" -- There is an END clause before the conformance information RS-232-like MIB: -- You use the words "experimental portion in" in the Introduction? Should you say "extension to" instead. This is not an experimental MIB? -- InterfaceIndex does not pass MOSY (warning) From mosy: warning: object "rs232PortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" warning: object "rs232AsyncPortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" warning: object "rs232AsyncPortBits" has unknown SYNTAX "Integer" warning: object "rs232SyncPortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" warning: object "rs232InSigPortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" warning: object "rs232OutSigPortIndex" has unknown SYNTAX "InterfaceIndex" -- There is an END clause before the conformance information -- How does ifSpeed in the ifMIB relate to rs232PortInSpeed and rs232PortOutSpeed? -- rs232AsyncPortBits has a SYNTAX of Integer should be INTEGER.
