They need to be unique only within an SMT -- also note the requirement for correspondence with the SMT resource indices. > The fddimibPATHIndex is defined as having a value from 3 to 255.

As noted in the description, this restriction is only for local path instances as opposed to primary/secondary.

We missed this one, although the requirement for sequential assignment of indices was removed. I'll make a note of this for when the MIB is advanced to Draft Standard. Anil
