<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for the clarification. In the expectation that manufacturers
will initialize ppmPortName with helpful information, I am satisfied there is
no need to add an additional object.</DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I remembered this morning why we decided, several
months back, to remove this object.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since
the MIB contained both a desciptive name and a description, it was agreed
that</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>the two objects were
redundant. To clarify this situation I recommend that the
object</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>ppmPortName be changed to
ppmPortDescriptiveName or ppmPortDescription, rather</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>than go back to the original redundant pair.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>ppPortName is a natural language string with up
to 127 characters. For Paul Danbold's</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is less than 80 characters and should be
more than sufficient to satisfy Paul's</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>requirement.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, in addition to a possible name change, it
must be noted that this object is</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
