Requested revision
| Standard: | 802.1Q-2011 | Clause: | 17.7.6 (and attached MIB file) |
| Clause title: | Definitions for the IEEE8021-MSTP MIB module | ||
Rationale for revision
There are a few issues with the MSTP MIB in 802.1Q-2011:
1) A number of clause references in the MSTP MIB were not updated to reflect the revision of clause 13 in 802.1Q-2011.
2) Clause 23.5.10 says enableBPDUrx is set by default; however, in the MIB the DEFVAL for ieee8021MstpCistPortEnableBPDURx is false.
3) Clause 23.5.11 says enableBPDUtx is set by default; however, in the MIB the DEFVAL for ieee8021MstpCistPortEnableBPDUTx is false.
Proposed text
1) Update the clause references as indicated in IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB-corrected.mib (provided separately).
2) Reconcile these, presumably by changing the DEFVAL to true.
3) Reconcile these, presumably by changing the DEFVAL to true.
Impact on existing networks
Correcting the clause references will have no impact. Changing the DEFVAL values to be consistent with the clause 25 text should not necessarily require changes to implementations (though I am not a MIB expert).
