The current version of the MIB is 5. This did not make the IETF cutoff but a draft was available via anonymous ftp. The working group chair plans to issue last call for proposed standard when new draft is out as an ID. The changes made to this version are * Objects under "vrrpRouterStatsEntry" were renumbered. OID's became out-of-sequence due to changes made in the last revision (04). * Format of section numbers was changed ('.' added) to be consistent with other RFC's. * Changed the type of "vrrpNodeVersion" from INTEGER to Integer32. Also made DEFVAL (for this object) a decimal number. * A few spelling and typographical corrections were made. * Revisions were made to the format of some of the references to make then more concise and consistent. * Reworded the Overview section to attempt to make the description of VRRP more in-line with the VRRP RFC. --------------------------- --------------------------- Meeting Adjourned --------------------------- ---------------------------
