Sorry that it took so long
- sect 3.2.4.
Talks about deprecated things in IANA registry
Should also show up as an action in the IANA Considerations section
(I think IANA already did this, but still better to document
it as we would normally do)
- Sect 3.2.4
Should we recommend (also in IANA Considerations section) that IAN
tries to contact registrants of those vendor specific ifTypes
to ask them to deprecate those registrations based on recommendations
in this document?
- sect 3.2.10
the things about ifAdminStatus and ifOperStatus are actually things that
we should also express in the MODULE-COMPLIANCE statements.
- sect 3.4
Should also be listed in IANA considerations section
- REVISION clause for this version...
- probably also should list which objects/other-things got deprecated
- and from the change log in the appendix I get the impression we should
probably list a few more things
- in DESCRIPTION of dot3StatsAlignmentErrors it says:
Discontinuities in the value of this counter can
occur at re-initialization of the management
system, and at other times as indicated by the
value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime."
we can express requirement for ifCounterDiscontinuitytime in the
MODULE-COMPLIANCE. probably much more of IF-MIB is needed and so should
or at least could be expressed in MODULE-COMPLIANCE
- I believe there are a number of deprecated objects that do not include
a reason why they were deprecated in the DESCRIPTION clause.
- for line -- dot3 8 (on page 46) you have a reference [31] which I cannot
find in the references section
- Missing IANA Considerations section
IANA wants all actions nicely together in a one section so they can
quickly see what needs to be done and so they can point people to
one place as to why they did it.
- Security considerations
- might be best to list the writeable objects and hwy they are
sensitive.
- Are there no other read-only objects that are sensitive?
The security ADs have become more picky on these things, so might want
to review and update.
Nits admin stuff
- In the abstract, it is sufficient to list just the RFC that is
being obsoleted, no need to have the title too.
- I see read-only access for various INDEX objects. I think we inherited
this from old SMIv1 MIB modules. WOuld it be good to add a comment line
that says something aka
MAX-ACCESS read-only -- read-only since originally an SMIv1 index
that makes it clear to everyone, and then mib reviewers do not have to
re-check all the time
- The references are not split according to the listed split we published
and agreed upon on the mibs mailing list. But maybe better wait a little,
cause the new MIB boilerplate is coming out RSN (I think/hope)
- smilint complains that
709: warning: use Integer32 instead of INTEGER in SMIv2
which is
dot3CollCount OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER (1..16)
I guess changing it to Integer32 would be OK since it is same base type.
But... up to editor/wg
Thanks,
Bert
