Hi Guys,

Thanks for your reply.

My submission is in regard to the docsBpiCmAuthState object.  If you look
at the technical errata submitted here:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=3083  then you will see the
comma is clearly omitted from the 'fixed' text:

It should say:
>

>    SYNTAX                  INTEGER {

>                                    authorized(3),
>                                    reauthWait(4),
>                                    authRejectWait(5)

Maybe what you are saying is that the above fix is not required?  If so, it
is misleading...and either way, syntactically incorrect!

Regards,

Mark

This is &quot;not an error&quot; , at least as reported. =C2=A0Three are tw=

=A0docsBpiCmAuthState and =C2=A0the definition o fdocsBpiCmTEKState. =C2=A0=
The former - =C2=A0I believe correctly -does not include &quot;start (1)&qu=

=A0- e.g. including the comma. =C2=A0So I&#39;m not sure where he&#39;s act=

<br>
The =C2=A0MIB =C2=A0was verified at submission. =C2=A0I would be surprised =
if there are any obvious syntactic errors like this in the body of the MIB.=
<br>
<br>
If I remember correctly, the reason the &quot;start&quot; state was exclude=
d from the docsBpiCmAuthState enums is that its never a visible state - the=
 state machine doesn&#39;t actually exist until docsIfCmStatusValue is at l=
east todEstablished - (RFC4546) and the state would always be later than &q=
uot;start&quot; so any query about baseline privacy will not necessarily gi=
ve you valid information prior to todEstablished.<br>
