Hi Ron,
(1) Best practice is to reserve the arc for notifications
for the future (such as port added notifications, which
would be extremely useful to a Port Monitor, although
I know we're not defining them now - I can remove the
notifications arc).
(2) I agree that the parentheses should be removed in
section 2.4
Cheers,
- Ira

Ira,
Two minor comments on the document text (external to the MIB).
1. Section 2.3 states "The PPM MIB does NOT define any notifications..."
But in the MIB there is the entry...
"ppmMIBNotifications OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ppmMIB 2 }"
To be consistent this should be removed, since we never plan to include
notifications in this MIB. Or do the SNMP rules require that a
notification object group MUST be defined?
2. In section 2.4, the text "and a row in 'prtChannelTable' for each
configured port" appears 3 times as a parenthetical expression.
I recommend that the text be included, in all cases, with the
parenthesis removed. Otherwise, this statement can be ignored
without changing the meaning of the sentence.
Ron

Hi folks, Wednesday (19 January 2005)
Based on recent comments from Tom Haapanen (Equitrac) and review at the
PWG in Camas, WA, I have just posted a new draft (with a status of
'Prototype') of the PWG Printer Port Monitor MIB at:
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/pmp/wd/wd-pmpportmib10-20050119.htm
- full text - PWG boilerplate, introduction, model, references
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/pmp/wd/wd-pmpportmib10-20050119.mib
- MIB source only
This MIB compiles without warnings in both Epilogue Emissary and SMICng.
Next Steps:
(1) Mike will put this document into MS Word and add more to the
'Background' section.
(2) We'll start this document in PWG 'last call' ASAP (no later than
15 March 2005).
Cheers,
- Ira

----------------------------------------
[change log - moved to source document from MIB]
19 January 2005 (v0.50)
- changed back 'Status' of document from 'Stable' to 'Prototype', to
allow further comment before 'last call' version is generated;
- revised 'Security Considerations' section to clarify risks of SNMPv1
reliance on community names, per IETF best practice;
- revised 'Acknowledgments' and 'References' sections;
- renamed 'ppmPortLprQueueName' to 'ppmPortServiceNameOrURI' for support
of IPP and remote printers, per request of Tom Haapanen (Equitrac);
- added 'ppmPortProtocolAltSourceEnabled' for alternate source port mode
(for example for LPR), per request of Tom Haapanen (Equitrac);
- renamed 'ppmPortProtocolPortNumber' to 'ppmPortProtocolTargetPort' for
clarity and consistency with above change;
- revised DESCRIPTION of 'ppmPortProtocolTargetPort' to specify behavior
in case of conflict with the URI value of 'ppmPortServiceNameOrURI'
(URI is authoritative);
