[VRRP] draft-ietf-vrrp-unified-mib-07 - deprecating vrrpTrapNewMaster

[<Kalyan.Tata at nokia.com>]

Hi,
	I started working on the new draft for the unified VRRP MIB. 
	One of the todo items was to change the vrrpTrapNewMaster. 
	Following is the mail I sent some time back - Resending this to
	see if I get any input before I change this in version 7 of the
draft:


I would like some working group opinion on deprecating vrrpTrapNewMaster
and adding vrrpStateChange notification.

Request from Carl Kalbfleisch  :
--------
 is it possible to add a vrrpStateChange notification or a notification
for each state. Our requirements require notification from a device when
it EXITS master state. Currently the vrrpTrapNewMaster only indicates
when the system goes into the master state. Having an indication of
backup and initialization states as notifications allows the management
station to correlate when the state changes without polling. 

Proposed :
--
vrrpStateChange NOTIFICATION-TYPE

OBJECTS { vrrpOperationsMasterIpAddr, vrrpOperationsState,
vrrpStateChangeReason }

STATUS current

DESCRIPTION

"Notification of VRRP state change."

::= { vrrpNotifications 4 }
--

Will it be useful to include a previous state in the notification?

Thanks,
Kalyan
