Well, yes, the resolution proposed to the errata was correct if we are =
to align the values of the enumeration in the TC and M3100 - for this we =
would need to deprecate the TC and define a new one - same with the =
object(s) using the TC.=20

However, if we just want to add the missing value for reinitialize as =
April suggests and fix the comment which is obviously wrong I believe =
that the IANA mechanism would work.=20

Hi -

The omission was the subject of a proposed eratum reported July 29, =
2009.
Section 5.2 of RFC 3877 notwithstanding, the view that prevailed at the =
time was:
  "Technically the submitter is right. However, the change cannot be =
made
    the way suggested in the Errata, but only by deprecating the object =
and
    defining a new object with correct enumerated values. This can be =
done
    only in a future version of the MIB module."

This eventually concluded with a recommendation of "hold for document =
update."

It looks like we, as a WG, may have blown it on this one.  There are =
really
two problems itentified in the original report: the missing enumeration =
value,
and the wrong explanatory text.  Both need to be fixed, and the IANA =
mechanism
seems appropriate.

Hi April,

=20

I hope that you do not mind if I am copying the disman WG list.=20

=20

I do not remember why we skipped this value, it may just have been a
miss. Maybe Sharon or Randy remember.=20

=20

In any case, according to section 5.2 in RFC 3877 this may be fixed
rather easily by requesting to add one new enumerated value in the IANA
maintained TC at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ianaitualarmtc-mib by
sending a mail to [email protected].=20

Hi Dan -=20

=20

I've been working on mapping alarms from a device to appropriate
probable causes defined in RFC 3877.

=20

I notice there is one from M3100 missing from the list
IANAItuProbableCause in the Alarm MIB.  Reinitialized is missing.  (It
occurred to me because I'd like to use it.)

=20

From M3100:

=20

lossOfRealTime ProbableCause
<http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/formal-language/itu-t/x/x721/1992/Attribute-AS
N1Module.html#Attribute-ASN1Module.ProbableCause>  ::=3D

N1Module.html#Attribute-ASN1Module.ProbableCause>  ::=3D localValue:160
=20
From the Alarm MIB:
            lossOfRealTimel (157),
 --A processing error alarm to be issued after the system has
 --reinitialised.  This will indicate
 --to the management systems that the view they have of the managed

             applicationSubsystemFailure (158),
             configurationOrCustomisationError (159),

=20

How can I add it?  I would think we cannot now insert it, but instead
add to the end of this list?

As reinitialized (616)?

=20

I don't know if there are ways to update these things...

=20

Thx!
