The following is the proposed resolution to entstate-329. The issue will be considered closed pending the proposed edit being done. Add a new section 2.3 called "Physical Entity Users" "There are three ways to define the 'user' of a physical entity" 1. Direct Containment in physical hierarchy 2. Anywhere in physical hierarchy 3. As defined by a means outside the scope of this MIB. This could include logical interfaces that could run on a port, software that could run on a module, etc. Administrative, operational, alarm and standby state use all three definitions of 'user'. Usage state only supports the concept of direct containment to simplify implementations of this object." Add a new section 2.4 called "Physical Class Behaviour" "This MIB makes no effort to standardize on the behaviours and characteristics of the various physical classes [RFC2737], but rather how this information is reported. In looking at real-world products, items within the same physical class vary substantially. The MIB has therefore provided guidance on how to support objects where a particular instance of a physical class can not support part or all of a particular state."

It seems that some state/status objects apply to the entity itself, while others relate more to its ability to do containment. This should be made more clear. 2. It seems that there is a difference between entities which can contain other entities and those which never will with respect to some states. This should be made more clear. 3. Dave doesn't see a use for the usage state. Sharon _______________________________________________ Entmib mailing list Entmib@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/entmib
