Subject: Chassis MIB and SNMPv2
I am at the first reading of the Chassis MIB draft posted last Friday by David Anderson. I have several remarks, but I keep them aside for the moment because there is one question which I feel should be answered before everything. This MIB imports Party and Context from RFC-1447 which is belonging to the SNMPv2 stack and is out of the Network Management Framework as defined by Chapter 2. Is this a mistake? Is it intentional? If yes, how should SNMPv1 agents behave? (implementation of chasEntityTable where these types are used is mandatory). As far as I understand, after Columbus the consensus was that for the moment we continue to write MIBs 'SNMPv1 Style'. But this leaves us without a proper definition of parties and context. Are we in some kind of a catch or do I miss something? Dan Romascanu, LANNET Data Communications Ltd., Tel Aviv, ISRAEL Voice: 972-3-6458414, Fax: 972-3-5447146
