FW: [psg.com #327] AutoReply: More Editorial Issues

The following is the proposed resolution to entstate-327. The issue 
will be considered closed pending the proposed edit being done.

1) Change the end of the abstract from

	"provide information about the state of the entity."

   to the following:

	"provide information about the state of physical entities."

2) In the description to StandbyStatus replace

"      providing service, but is will be immediately able to"

With

"      providing service, but it will be immediately able to"

3) Note that the resolution to issue #311 covers this

4) In the description of entStateAdmin replace

"The administrative state for this entity. A value
                of 'notSupported' means that this entity is unable
                to report administrative state. This object can not
                be administratively set to 'notSupported'. For
                entities that do not support administrative state,
                changing the value of this object to something other
                than 'notSupported' is not permitted.  A value of
                'inconsistentValue' will be returned in either case."

With

"The administrative state for this entity. A value
                of 'notSupported' means that this entity is unable
                to report administrative state. This object can not
                be manually set to 'notSupported'. For
                entities that do not support administrative state,
                changing the value of this object to something other
                than 'notSupported' is not permitted.  A value of
                'inconsistentValue' will be returned in either case."

7) Replace

"
   entStateNotificationGroup NOTIFICATION-GROUP"

With

"
   entStateNotificationsGroup NOTIFICATION-GROUP
      "

"1) Change the end of the abstract from

	provide information about the state of the entity.

   to the following:

	provide information about the state of physical entities.

   Rationale: This MIB is specific to physical entities and since the
   ENTITY-MIB also has the concept of logical entities, I think it is
   better to more precise.

2) Description of StandByStatus, change

	"... but is will be immediately ..." 

   to the following:

	"... but will be immediately ..."

3) Description of entStateLastChanged, change 

   DESCRIPTION "The value of this object is the date and
               time when state/status of the entity
               last changed, or zero."

   to the following:

   DESCRIPTION "The value of this object is the date and
               time when state/status of the entity
               last changed, or '0000000000000000'H."

4) Description of entStateAdmin. I believe the following two sentences
   are kind of a contradiction:

             [...] This object can not
             be administratively set to 'notSupported'. For
             entities that do not support administrative state,
             changing the value of this object to something other
             than 'notSupported' is not permitted.  A value of
             'inconsistentValue' will be returned in either case.

   With the text in the second paragraph of the description clause, I
   think this can be fixed by just removing a sentence without loosing
   anything:

             [...] This object can not
             be administratively set to 'notSupported'. A value of
             'inconsistentValue' will be returned in either case.

7) The MIB did not compile because you once use
   entStateNotificationGroup and once you use
   entStateNotificationsGroup (see the plural s). Pick one.
