Hi folks, Monday (16 August 1999) [For consideration this week at your PWG monthly meeting in Alaska - now aligned with the latest IPP Notifications Model of 11 August 1999 - but w/out 'job-complete' and 'job-progress' extra attribute bindings.] For IPP Notifications over UDP (via SNMPv1, SNMPv2, or SNMPv3), I've revised the *very* small IPP MIB and posted it on the PWG server at: ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_MIB/ipp_mb01.mib This MIB contains the following SNMP object groups: Printer - 11 columnar objects (including 5 counters) (Mandatory) (language, name, state, state reasons, state message) Printer URI - 3 columnar objects (URI, authentication, security) (Mandatory) (models 'printer-uri-supported', etc., in flat tables) Event - 12 leaf objects (Conditionally (printer/URI indices, trigger event, job bindings) Mandatory) - 2 SNMP traps w/ a few optional bindings (basic-printer-event, basic-job-event) This MIB compiles without errors or warnings with Epilogue Emissary 7.0 and includes MODULE-COMPLIANCE and OBJECT-GROUP macros (conformance). This MIB follows the 'Draft Standard' SNMPv3 MIBs (RFC 2571-2575) and conveys all text in the 'UTF-8' charset (ISO 10646 / Unicode in a stream encoding that is file-system and legacy programming language safe) via the textual convention 'SnmpAdminString' (imported from RFC 2571, the SNMP Framework MIB), since all IPP clients and printers MUST support 'UTF-8' anyway. This MIB supports fast IPP Printer discovery via SNMP (simply broadcast an SNMP GetNext for 'ippPrinterName' to find all supporting systems). Because the (mandatory) Printer group contains five basic counters (connections, requests, errors, warnings, notifications) as well as the printer name, state, and state reasons, this MIB arguably satisfies the 'appropriate technology' criteria for IPP Printer network management (w/out introducing the WWW Services MIB, RFC 2594, or other overkill). Cheers, - Ira McDonald High North Inc 906-494-2697/2434 PS - [switch on PWG parochial mindset] Also note, since IETF IPP and PWG Job Monitoring MIB are fully aligned, the job-level trap in this small IPP MIB constitutes a clean job-level trap augmentation for the PWG Job Monitoring MIB.
