Editor's Note: Minutes received 8/8 CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Jeff Case/UTenn Minutes of the FDDI MIB Working Group (FDDIMIB) This being the first meeting of the Group after a lengthy hiatus, the Chair invested the time in introducing the goals as well as allowing time for participants to introduce themselves to one another. Implementation experience with RFC 1285 and FDDI-related vendor extensions were discussed, including problems encountered with RFC 1285. Although there are several products shipping today with MIBs which are precursors of RFC 1285, there is not a large body of experience with the version of the MIB found in the RFC. ANSI participants reported on the status of ANSI SMT 7.1 and 7.2 standardization status. ANSI has made much progress since our last meeting. The 7.1 and 7.2 documents are very similar with respect to the MIB. Reported differences include such things as additional enumerations on some integer valued objects. The discussed the next step. The consensus was that it would be far better to attempt to align with the new ANSI documents rather than attempt to advance 1285 from proposed to draft without modification(s). The majority of the meeting was spent discussing the differences between 1285 and the 7.1 specification. This was aided by a document prepared at great labor by Judi Theg Talley and the Chair recognizes this effort. A first level consensus was reached on what to do about most objects with respect to translation algorithms, and rules for inclusion. The Chair is to prepare a document reflecting those decisions and post it to the list for discussion.
