Resending just to note that I got a bounce from Tissa's address.

I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft. For background on
Gen-ART, please see the FAQ at

Please resolve these comments along with any other Last Call comments


you may receive. Sorry for the late review, but there was a pile of 


reading to do in preparation. I admit I did not read the whole 1800 


pages of 802.1Q.

Summary: Not quite ready. Minor issues and editorials/nits.

Major issues:

Minor issues:



1) Section 5.2 states that IEEE8021ServiceSelectorType has two values. 


In fact, 801-1Q-2014 enumerates more than that. I'd suggest a slight 


change in wording to reflect this:




OLD

IEEE8021-TC-MIB defines IEEE8021ServiceSelectorType with two values:

- 1 representing a vlanId, and

- 2 representing a 24 bit isid.

NEW



The IEEE8021-TC-MIB definition of IEEE8021ServiceSelectorType includes 


the two values:




- 1 representing a vlanId, and

- 2 representing a 24 bit isid.



2) Section 6.2 indicates that TRILL OAM has no support for Link Trace 


Message/Reply. Perhaps text could be added to say why this is so (i.e., 


that Path Trace has been substituted, as indicated in Sec. 10 of RFC 


7455, and has been supplemented by Multi-destination Tree Verification 


Message/Reply).






3) "Reference Overview" in the MIB module header indicates that the 


TRILL MIB module refers to the original CFM document, IEEE 802.1ag-2007, 


instead of IEEE 802.1-Q-2014. Why the older starting point?






4) Has any thought been given to including an indication of when the 


counters were last reset (e.g, due to restart)?






5) description of trillOamMepTxPtmStatus refers to the MEP Initiator 


State Machine. Reference should include pointer to the description of 


this state machine. Where is it defined? -- not in RFC 7455. Similar 


comment regarding the description of trillOamMepTxMtvmStatus.






6) Description of trillOamMepTxPtmMessages: there is no indication in 


RFC 7455 of how this limit is used. More text is needed here. Does 


number of hops affect the count of transmitted messages against this 


limit? Similar comment regarding the description of 


trillOamMepTxMtvmMessages.






7) Surely this document has normative dependencies on 802.1Q and the 


LLDP-MIB, for which no reference is given, BTW.





Nits/editorial comments:



1) Under "Abbreviations" in the MIB module header, definition of SNMP 


Agent, need to spell out NE. Similarly, spell out EMS and NMS in the 


next definition.




2) Description of trillOamMepTable: s/rowsare/rows are/



3) in the descriptions of trillOamMepPtrFlag and 


trillOamMepPtrErrorCode, incorrect section numbers for RFC 7455 are 


given in the references. Should be 8.4.3?






4) Description of trillOamMepPtrIngress: s/PTM/PTR/. Similar comment for 


trillOamMepPtrEgress.






5) Syntax error for trillOamMepPtrIngressPortIdSubtype: syntax should be 


LldpPortIdSubtype. Descriptions of trillOamMepPtrIngressPortIdSubtype 


and trillOamMepPtrIngressPortId should be interchanged. Similar comments 


for trillOamMepPtrEgressPortIdSubtype and trillOamMepPtrEgressPortId. 


Note that syntax is also stated in the Entry definition and has to be 


fixed there, too.




6) Same problem as 5) for the corresponding trillOamMtvrTable objects.



7) Security Considerations, third para, first-to-second lines: 


s/MAC-ACCESS/MAX-ACCESS/
