Further I see a lot of naming inconsistencies - Normally, in a MIB module we prefix all TCs with a prefix that makes it clear which module these TCs are defined in. This is to try and avoid that the TC names/identifiers will not conflict with any existing or future other TCs. Specifically for a experiemntal module you do not want to have conflicts with standards track MIB modules. So for these ENRPServerIdentifierType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION OperationScopeType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION PoolHandleType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION DescriptionType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION PoolElementIdentifierType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION PolicyIDType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION PolicyLoadType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION PolicyWeightType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION TransportUseType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION I would add a prefix aka RserENRPServerIdentifierType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION RserOperationScopeType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION RserPoolHandleType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION RserDescriptionType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION RserPoolElementIdentifierType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION RserPolicyIDType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION RserPolicyLoadType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION RserPolicyWeightType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION RserTransportUseType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION Or maybe Enrp is the prefix as late object naming seems toindicate. But then I would also make the MIB modulename ENRP-MIB and then change rserpoolMIB MODULE-IDENTITY into enrpMIB MODULE-IDENTITY I am also not sure I would let the TC names have a suffix of "Type". But that may be personal taste. - further down in the MIB module we see another prefix poolElementEntry OBJECT-TYPE I would ALWAYS use the same prefix throught the MIB module! - I blieve that for this one enrpServerPort OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Unsigned32 (1..65535) one should use the InetPort TC from RFC4001 this is true for other PORT definitions as well - I see various writable objects that do not describe what their expected persistency behaviour is - enrpServerASAPAnnounceAddr OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX InetAddress MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The destination multicast IP address ASAP multicast announce messages are sent to." ::= { enrpServerEntry 9 } RFC4001 (that defines the InetAddress TC) prescribes that the DESCRIPTION clause must indicate which object of SYNTAX InetAddressType controls the format of this object. - When I see somehting like enrpServerENRPL3Proto OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX InetAddressType MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The network-layer protocol (IPv4 or IPv6) of an IP address of an ENRP transport endpoint." ::= { enrpServerENRPAddrTableEntry 2 } Then I wonder if it would not be better to SUBTYPE the TC So something like SYNTAX InetAddressType{ipv4(1), ipv6(2)} The associated enrpServerPeerL3Addr OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX InetAddress would then become enrpServerPeerL3Addr OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX InetAddress (SIZE(4|16)) all this assuming that you explicitly want to only support IPv4 and IPv6 and not DNS and not Scoped IPv6 addresses - According to RFC4181 this one rserpoolMIBConformance OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { rserpoolMIB 4 } should change to rserpoolMIBConformance OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { rserpoolMIB 2 } I do not see a reason why the recommended MIb structure in RFC4181 would not be followed. - This DESCRIPTION "The group of ENRP servers" ::= { rserpoolMIBGroups 1 } is of course not a good DESCRITPION clause. It is I think "The group of objects to manage/monitor ENRP servers." or some such. Same for otehr groups - Abstract RSerPool [RFC5351] is a framework to provide reliable server pooling. This document defines a SMIv2 compliant Management Information Base (MIB) providing access to managed objects in an RSerPool implementation. Normally, citations are not supposed to be in the abstract. But that is a NIB, The document however, does not define a MIB, but a MIB module. I know some people think this is a nit too. The introduction has irt right. Seuritty considerations is weak. It does not state anything about the possible secuirty issues/concerns when peole get read and/or write access to the various objects. s /IPSec/IPsec/ as well I think that RFC4001 is missing from the NORMATIVE references list The REVISION clause should probably contain something like REVISION "200901221012Z" -- January 22, 2009 DESCRIPTION "This version of the MIB module published as RFC xxxx."
