Hi... just did a very quick SYNTAX check. This is what I found:
E: f(counter.mi2), (17,21) Date/time(0411270000Z) must have a year
greater than 89
You SHOULD use a 4-digit year. So 200411270000Z would fix the problem
Sane is true for all the REVISION dates/timestamps
E: f(counter.mi2), (1638,1) Item "icMediaUsedSizeName" has invalid
value for MAX-ACCESS
It has:
icMediaUsedSizeName OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SnmpAdminString (SIZE(0..63))
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
The not-accessible is only valid for non-index objects. It should only be
used for auxiliary objects.
See sect 7.3 (2nd para) and of RFC2578.
In any event, what use does a normal object have if it is not accessible?
The smilint tool further shows:
C:\smi\mibs\work>smilint -m -s -l 6 -inamelength-32 ./PWG-IMAGING-COUNTER-MIB
./PWG-IMAGING-COUNTER-MIB:118: [1] {oid-registered} identifier `icMIB' registers
object identifier already registered by `imagingCounterMIB'
./PWG-IMAGING-COUNTER-MIB:118: [6] {previous-definition} info: previous
definition of `imagingCounterMIB'
Further, I see:
icMIBObjects OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { icMIB 1 }
icMIBNotifications OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { icMIB 2 }
icMIBConformance OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { icMIB 3 }
No notifications have yet been defined. Potentially it would be better to do
icMIBNotifications OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { icMIB 0 }
icMIBObjects OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { icMIB 1 }
icMIBConformance OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { icMIB 2 }
It allows notifications to be defined directly under icMIBNotifications
and it would be more inline with IETF MIB guidance as per appendix D
of draft-ietf-ops-mib-review-guidelines-03.txt
Firther I saw:
icGeneralGroup OBJECT-GROUP
OBJECTS {
icGeneralNaturalLanguage,
icGeneralTotalServiceRecords,
icGeneralTotalSubunitRecords,
icGeneralTotalMediaUsedRecords
}
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Mandatory - general object group.
An Imaging System MUST support and implement this object group."
::= { icMIBObjectGroups 1 }
In general it is NOT GOOD to specify in the OBJECT-GROUP DESCRIPTION clause
if such a group is mandatory or optional. The OBJECT-GROUP macro is meant
to just group objects together in logical groups.
In the MODULE-COMPLIANCE you can then specify which groups are mandatory (i.e.
MUST support" or "conditionally mandatory" or "optional" etc.
It would then be good to include in the DESCRIPTION clauses of the GROUP clause
(in the MODULE-COMPLIANCE statement) under what conditions a conditionally
mandatroy group must be supported.
Section 4.8 of draft-ietf-ops-mib-review-guidelines-03.txt has detailed
guidelines on MODULE-COMPLIANCE approaches.
I did not review or check the MIB module in any detail.
Hope this helps, Bert
