Editor's Note: Minutes received 12/21/92 CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Jeff Case/SNMP Research Minutes of the FDDI MIB Working Group (FDDIMIB) The FDDI MIB Working Group met on November 19, 1992 in Washington, D.C. This being the second meeting of the Group after a lengthy hiatus, the Chair invested the time to introduce the goals and for participants to introduce themselves to one another. The Agenda for the meeting was reviewed and adopted. The roster was circulated. A brief report was received on the standardization status of SMT 7.2 within ANSI. Finalization is expected soon. The current draft was introduced, including the algorithms used for object inclusion and exclusion and the algorithms used for transforming objects between GDMO and the SNMP/SMI concise MIB format. The identified issues were discussed in turn: o PATHConfiguration The Group agreed that the inclusion of the PATHConfiguration information objects is desirable, given the relative costs and benefits. The Group discussed two proposals that have been advanced, one from Anil and one from Sal. The editor was directed to incorporate the PATHConfiguration information in the next draft based on Sal's suggested table format. o FddiTime The Group agreed to express FddiTime as a positive integer in 1 nanosecond units. The editor was directed to include a complete, appropriate, example to eliminate the confusion surrounding two's complement. o Timestamp The Group agreed to rescale Timestamp to express it in 1 millisecond units. o Correction of Equations and Relationships This is no longer a problem thanks to the assistance of Floyd Ross, who was able to supply machine readable text that could be successfully imported by the document's editor. o SMT <-> SNMP Index Mappings The Group was pleased with the current draft which includes sparse mappings of the index values to match SMT. The editor was directed to prepare a new draft to reflect these decisions and to have it posted to the internet-drafts directories. 1 Discussion of event notifications was deferred until after the MIB design work is completed.
