augmenting std MIBs to use TransportAddress
Hi,
I have a couple of Cisco MIB reviews that are augmentations
of the NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB (RFC 3014) and SNMP-TARGET-MIB
(RFC 3413). I'm having a little trouble interpreting sec
3.1.2 of RFC 3419. These augmentations are 'replacing'
the TAddress and TDomain objects with TransportAddress
and TransportDomain objects. The objects getting replaced:
nlmLogEntry:
nlmLogEngineTAddress TAddress
nlmLogEngineTDomain TDomain
snmpTargetAddrEntry:
snmpTargetAddrTDomain TDomain
snmpTargetAddrTAddress TAddress
Q1) RFC 3014 seems to imply that we should use the old objects
for existing TAddress/TDomain values and use the new objects
for new values that TAddress/TDomain doesn't cover. I think
this is broken. I am telling the MIB designer to let the
new objects override the old ones if they are set, and
use the old objects if the new ones are not set. Is this
what the last paragraph of 3.1.2 is suggesting (and I'm
just reading it wrong)?
Q2) What is the IETF plan for upgrading MIBs which use the old
TAddress/TDomain data types to use the types in RFC 3419?
thanks,
Andy
