CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Jeff Case/ U-Tenn The FDDI MIB Working Group last met on May 2 at the Pittsburgh meeting of the IETF. The meeting was held in conjunction with the Transmission MIB Working Group. The text of the current document draft was distributed and discussed. The majority of the current text comes from the pertinent sections of the ANSI FDDI SMT specification. That text has been recast to align with RFC conventions and to comply with the requirements of the SNMP, MIB, and SMI specifications. Only the minimal required changes to the variables have been made and only the SMT variables which were ``required'' have been retained. The goal is have as close a relationship between the SNMP and SMT management variables as is technically possible. In general, corresponding objects will have the same semantics although they will necessarily have different syntaxes. The FDDI Mib objects have been identified but have not yet been organized into the virtual tree structure. The engineering to map actions and events into appropriate SNMP variables and traps is being deferred until more progress is made on other portions of the document. There was considerable discussion of how to handle 64 bit timer values which occur relatively often in FDDI work. Two options were seriously considered: 1. a high longword and a low longword (two 32 bit integers) 2. a single octet string of length 8 After discussion, the committee opted for option 2. Next Meeting: It was decided to meet again before the next general IETF meeting. The date of the next meeting is Tuesday afternoon June 12, 1990, in Dallas, Texas. This date and location was selected because several members of the working group will be attending other related meetings at that location on Tuesday morning and on Wednesday, resulting in better attendance and will maximize the positive impacts on travel time and budgets. 1 ATTENDEES Hossein Alaee Hossein-Alaee@3com.com Doug Bagnall Bagnall-d@apollo.hp.com Pabb Brenner Spartel!pbrenner@uunet John Cook cook@chipcom.com James Davin jrd.ptt.lcs.mit.edu Hunaid Engineer hunaid@opus.cray.com Stan Froyd sfroyd@salt.acc.com Brain Handspicker bd@vines.dec.com Frank Kastenholz Kasten@inrerlan.com Gary Malkin gmalkin@proteon.com John O'Hara johara@mit.edu Dave Perkins Dave-Perkins@3com.com Milt Roseinsky cmcvax'milt@hub.ucs.edu Jon Saperia Saperia@tcpjon.enet.dec.com Steven Senum sss@network.com Jim Sheridan Jherida@ibm.com Mark Sleeper Lou Steinberg Louis@ibm.com Ian Thamas ian@chipcom.com Sudhanshu Verma Verma@hpindbu.hp.com David Waiteman djw@bbn.com Y.C.
