RE: [Entmib] FW: [psg.com #310] AutoReply: Alarm State Issues

The following is the proposed resolution to entstate-310. The issue 
will be considered closed pending the proposed edit being done.

[Note that the previously proposed edits were done and are reflected in
version -03 of the Entity State MIB. The following is an additional edit on
top of that.]

In the DESCRIPTION of AlarmStatus remove the following text:

"When the value of 'alarmOutstanding' is set, one or more
            alarms is active against the resource. The fault may
            or may not be disabling. This bit provides a high-level
            summary that can be used to determine whether or not
            to examine the rest of the values.  "

And in the enumeration for AlarmStatus, replace:

"
                alarmOutstanding(5),
                -- The following are not defined in X.733
                warning (6),
                indeterminate (7)
                              "

With

"                -- The following are not defined in X.733
                warning (5),
                indeterminate (6)
                              "

Hi

Ok, while I still think it's a useful little bit, if there are not
objections, I'm willing to remove it. Are there any other views on this?

I still fail to understand why we need a bit to summarize 6 other bits in a
single byte. Unless someone can explain what the performance gain is of this
summary bit, I tend to object to having this bit.
