On page 4 of "Textual Conventions for SNMPv2 (Mar,93)",
TEXTUAL-CONVENTION MACRO ::=
BEGIN
TYPE NOTATION ::=
DisplayPart
"STATUS" Status
"DESCRIPTION" Text
ReferPart
"SYNTAX" type(Syntax)
VALUE NOTATION ::=
value(VALUE Syntax)
......
END
QUESTION: Why it is
--------
PhysAddress ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
DISPLAY-HINT "1x:"
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "Represents media- or physical-level addresses."
SYNTAX OCTET STRING
not
PhysAddress TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
DISPLAY-HINT "1x:"
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "Represents media- or physical-level addresses."
::= OCTET STRING
I can easy understand that the latter case as
"PhyAddress" equvilent to "OCTET STRING",
what means the former case ?
Thanks for any clarifications in advance.
