Even though I understand Dave's concerns, I think that we should make practical decisions. If CLEI codes play a significant role, then why not put something into the MIB that supports this market? It should be possible to spell out clearly in the description clause of the object under which conditions this object applies and that ENTITY-MIB compliance does not require to implement this object or to buy any official CLEI codes. In fact, it might be possible to turn this object into an opaque string object which holds an arbitrary identification code which in some environments might happen to be the CLEI code. With my limited knowledge about CLEI codes, I think a string type is more appropriate than an OID type. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder International University Bremen <http://www.eecs.iu-bremen.de/> P.O.
