Does this project obsolete 2002/278 (Singleton IPMP Group) and 2002/763 (Contract for use of SIOCGLIFGROUPNAME)? Is there a new contract to replace PSARC/2002/763-01? It's good that we have the affected teams talking, but I think completing the case will require a follow-up. > * Section 5.18: To ensure IPMP-unaware MIB applications won't trip over > IPMP test address information, a synthetic EXPER_IP_AND_TESTHIDDEN > MIB level has been added. This will remove information that used to show up in the MIB, and thus cause a small loss of observability for IPMP machines managed by SNMP. I think we should have ARC advice added to the opinion: management needs to be advised that while this is an improvement in accuracy of the data, it's also a regression, and that we need to have updates to the SNMP implementation to support IPMP (perhaps via a private MIB). -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
