Re: Updated ds0 draft (draft-ietf-trunkmib-ds0-mib-06.txt)

[Gary Hanson <[e-mail]>]

David,

Thanks for posting the new draft.  I just got back into the office
this week and was looking at it today.

I notice that the following changes were not included in the new
draft:
- Add a dsx0BundleCircuitIdentifier object to dsx0BundleTable, with
  MAX-ACCESS of read-create and MIN-ACCESS of read-only.
- Update the description of how to use ifPhysAddress to match the
  description used in both the DS1 and DS3 MIB drafts (i.e., that
  it represents the value of the circuit identifier, etc.).

I can certainly live without the former change.  And I am sure that
life will go on without the latter change.  However, I do question
the need for the discrepancy between the DS1, DS3, and SONET MIBs
on the one hand (where ifPhysAddress is used for the circuit
identifier) and the DS0 MIB on the other hand (where it is not).
Am I the only one annoyed by this discrepancy?

Note also that the snmpv3 WG will probably ask the RFC editor to
update the MIB boilerplate to reflect the latest SNMP architectural
concepts, and to point to all the relevant RFCs.

Regards,
Gary
