RE: FW: [psg.com #77] AutoReply: Operational State Disab led - correct ive action required?

Hi

As we've heard no interest in supporting a dual-mode oper status I propose
we keep things the way they are and close this issue (entstate-77). Note
that the improved object descriptions should help people better understand
the externally expected behaviour.

correct ive action required?


Hi

Hmmm. The problem is then that there are two different ways to interpret the
state of the entity by reading the same values for those three objects. I'd
suggest one of the following then
	1) Always force people to use the states as described. Then even if
the internal 
        state model is as you described, the externally visible behaviour
would be as 
        described in section 2.2.
      2) Support two behaviours for oper state and provide a type object to
tell you 
         which one is being  used. These would be INTEGER {
operIndependentAdmin, 
         operFollowsAdmin (2) }. I'm not sure about this approach, but I
suspect it would
         make some people happy.

2.2.2 is fine.

It looks to me that what is not covered in the current version of 2.2.1 is
the case of these devices that are modeled in their state machine so that
the operStatus follows a adminStatus transition to down, although no fault
was detected on the respective interface. These interfaces will never be in
the state described by 2.2.2. For these cases, when adminStatus transitions
back to up is enough to re-establish operStatus as well. 

(I used the IETF MIB-II terminology that I am more familiar with)

Dan
