RE: FW: [psg.com #330] AutoReply: Notification Varbinds

The following is the proposed resolution to entstate-330. The issue 
will be considered closed pending the proposed edit being done.

[Note: I'm trying to answer the question without enforcing a particular
operational model on the management application. I don't think this is the
right place to do that.]

In the description to entStateOperDisabled add the following text

"The entStateAdmin and entStateAlarm varbinds may be examined to find out
additional information on the administrative state at the time of the
operation state change as well to find out whether there were any known
alarms against the entity at that time that may explain why the physical
entity has become operationally disabled. "
              
In the description to entStateOperEnabled add the following text

"The entStateAdmin and entStateAlarm varbinds may be examined to find out
additional information on the administrative state at the time of the
operation state change as well to find out whether there were any known
alarms against the entity at that time that may have affect on the physical
entity's ability to stay operationally enabled."

The text is OK and does not hurt, but you did not answer my question.
