Based on the errors/warnings I get from both SMICNG and SMILINT, I

how an IETF Last Call can go out for a MIB module in this shape.
I did not look at any MIB details yet.
I get this from SMICng:
Since SMICng is a commercial tool for which I don't have a license I
have not been able to validate the MIB against it. I can however comment
on the Smilint output which appears to flag the same issues.
And I get this from smilint:
C:\bwijnen\smicng\work>smilint -m -l 6 -s ./MGMD-STD-MIB
./MGMD-STD-MIB:39: [3] {revision-missing} revision for last update is
missing
I believe this is flagged because of the placeholder XXX for the IANA
allocated MIB number.
./MGMD-STD-MIB:90: [2] {size-illegal} illegal size restriction for
non-octet-string parent type `InetAddressType'
./MGMD-STD-MIB:100: [2] {sequence-type-mismatch} type of
`mgmdHostInterfaceQuerierType' in sequence and object type defi nition
do not match
./MGMD-STD-MIB:246: [2] {size-illegal} illegal size restriction for
non-octet-string parent type `InetAddressType'
All of the size-illegal errors are based on the InetAddressType
redefinition. In email comments returned by Dave Thaler it was
specifically requested that all InetAddressType objects should have the
syntax:
SYNTAX InetAddress (SIZE(4|16))
So I have ignored these errors. If there is a preferred or more correct
way to descibe this size restriction then please say so.
./MGMD-STD-MIB:256: [2] {sequence-type-mismatch} type of
`mgmdRouterInterfaceQuerierType' in sequence and object type de finition
do not match
All sequence-type-mismatch errors are a direct consequence of the
InetAddress error above. If the InetAddressType object does not produce
a size-illegal error then these should also disappear.

The TimeTicks modification was made to clarify the legal value of the
mgmdRouterCahceExpiryTimer which can never be zero. Again, the change
was requested by various Magma folks and seemed perfectly valid. Perhaps
you can suggest a more correct way to specify a range refinement for
this object?

All of the following errors occur due to the use of previously defined
objects in a reverse lookup table. In an earlier version of the MIB
there were new objects defined for these tables with the same meaning,
however it was pointed out by David McWalter on the list that a reverse
lookup table should use the same objects as previously defined. This
does appear to confuse smilint. I am not an expert by any means on this
so would appreciate guidance on the correct approach. In the meantime
this seemed acceptable given that the errors were all level 3 and above.

Please advise on how you would like to see this MIB adjusted since all
items flagged as errors appeared valid to me for the reasons provided.
Many Thanks,
