RE: FW: EPON MIB comments

[GK] The following objects represent non-EPON-specific events and should be
moved to OAM MIB.

[LK] As a general concept we tried to create in the EFM MIB objects a
reflection of the IEEE802.3ah management object keeping as much as we can
aligned to clause 30. There is here an additional section which refers to
device MIB objects. In there I tried to put all things which are necessary
for the management of an EPON device (in an access network) and was not
truly covered by the IEEE802.3ah spec as being a spec for L2 MAC mainly. So
although they are OAM they are in device level.

[GK] Lior, any network device is a combination of multiple specs. And
correspondingly, management of a network device comprises many MIBs. EPON
MIB should only cover EPON-specific objects. There exist many other MIBs
that are not EPON-specific, but that must be implemented in EPON devices.
Such objects as eponDeviceDyingGaspAlarmEnabled and
eponDeviceTemperatureEventIndicationState (and all other objects listed
above) are not EPON-specific. They exist in other MIBs.
What I am trying to say is that EPON MIB will not be used as substitution
for other MIBs. It is to be used in EPON devices in addition to other MIBs.
