CURRENT MEETING REPORT

Reported by Bob Stewart, Cisco Systems, and Andy Bierman, Cisco Systems

Minutes of Entity MIB Working Group (entmib)

First Session

Maria Greene presented a proposal for removing the community string object in favor of a more abstract object that represented a naming scope without giving away a full community string. She included a proposal for formatting community strings using that object. We discussed this for most of the meeting and concluded that we didn't agree and wouldn't change the MIB.

Maria presented a definition of a logical entity which we liked.
