Hi Tony,

This was an editing error in which the  vrIdError was not removed from the =
vrrpV3StatisticsProtoErrReason when vrrpv3RouterVrIdErrors was added as a g=
lobal counter.

(exactly for the reason you mentioned)

vrrpv3RouterVrIdErrors should be used for counting the number of vrid error=
s.
Thanks
Kalyan

Subject: [VRRP] VRRPV3-MIB protocol error trap question


I am implementing the protocol error trap in the VRRPV3 MIB and have spotte=
d a possible hole in the MIB. I wonder if this was picked up in discussions=
 and a work-around devised?


When an advertisement is received with an unrecognised VR ID, a protocol er=
ror trap is generated, with the object vrrpv3StatisticsProtoErrReason. This=
 object has value vrIdError(4) in this case, but what should the index of t=
he object be? In particular, what should the VR ID part of the index be?


I am inclined to create a variable binding with a fake OID using the unreco=
gnised VR ID, since this will actually convey the information required (whi=
ch VR ID is invalid, and the address type and ifIndex).


What, if any, discussion has taken place around this issue, and was there a=
ny conclusion reached?


Thanks

Tony
