CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Jon Saperia/ DEC MINUTES A small number of us got together for the first working group meeting of the DECNet Phase IV MIB working group. At the meeting a number of items were resolved, including the charter and schedule. 1. We will need some assistance in the implementation of a proxy. ACTION: Steve Hunter will check to see if there is an help available at his facility. 2. There was considerable discussion about the number of DECNet Phase IV objects to support since a full implementation will have more than a hundred variables based on current estimates. The group agreed that we will consider making some objects 'optional' if the list grows to large. ACTION: I will attempt to produce a draft listing of objects (without the ASN.1) information within the next month or two so people can begin to review the objects. 3. We also discussed overlap with vendors who already have some DECNet MIB support in their products. ACTION: I am using this mailing as a request to any vendors on the list to send copies of their DECNet MIBs. I expect that most implementations will have only a very few variables implemented and they are all in the private section of their mibs so there will be no interoperability problems. 4. The next step is the actual ASN.1 encoding of the variables, given the number this is a large task. If there are any ASN.1 experts who want to help with this portion of the work, please send me ma il.
