Hi Ron, Monday (12 October 1998)
As promised, below are all the warnings and errors from SMICng 2.1.03 on
your latest draft of the Finisher MIB extensions to the Printer MIB.
Also, remember that your formfeeds were missing in the posted I-D text.
In Printer MIB, the warning about 'printerV2Alert' not contained in any
group should be ignored. SMICng wants you to use the NOTIFICATION-GROUP
macro added in the second version of SMIv2 (RFC 190x), but NOT present
in the first version of SMIv2 (RFC 144x). Xerox experience has been
that the compatibility with RFC 144x versions of SMIv2 compilers is more
important, so we feel that the SMICng requests for NOTIFICATION-GROUP
macros in conformance sections (for trap definitions) should be ignored.
In Finisher MIB, you need to import 'experimental' (and to get an IANA
assignment of a fresh arc for this Finisher MIB text - arcs are NEVER
reused in subsequent MIBs - the old Printer MIB experimental arc is dead
now). All the other errors are because the objects are not mentioned in
some OBJECT-GROUP macro in the conformance section.
Cheers,
- Ira McDonald (outside consultant at Xerox)
