Fellow iSCSI MIB fans, One more question for the list. Another MIB review suggestion was to add more transport information: | | +--iscsiInstanceSsnErrorStatsTable(2) | | | | | +--iscsiInstanceSsnErrorStatsEntry(1) [iscsiInstIndex] | | | | | +-- r-n Counter32 iscsiInstSsnDigestErrors(1) | | +-- r-n Counter32 iscsiInstSsnCxnTimeoutErrors(2) | | +-- r-n Counter32 iscsiInstSsnFormatErrors(3) Related states for transport are not provided in this table. Either a RowPointer to another mib module is needed or a generic transport counter to indicate failure at that layer was detected by iscsiInstance. [Mark] This table was originally provided as just an error count table augmenting the whole iSCSI instance, and simply counts failures. We (MIB authors) don't see a way for session-level details to fit into this purpose. If anyone disagrees or sees a better way to do this, please speak up. Thanks, Mark
