Subject: AD review of rfc2618bis-02 through rfc2621bis-02


Editor and WG,

Dan had already done MIB doctor review and he is basically OK
I believe). So I did a quick check in my role as AD.

  draft-ietf-radext-rfc2618bis-02.txt
  draft-ietf-radext-rfc2619bis-02.txt
  draft-ietf-radext-rfc2620bis-02.txt
  draft-ietf-radext-rfc2621bis-02.txt


I did just do draft-ietf-radext-rfc2618bis-02.txt
The others probably have similar minor issues.

As far as I am concerned, we can do IETF Last Call (these go
for standards track so we must do IETF LC) now. You can then
consider below comments as the first set of IETF LC comments.
And then address them right after IETF Last Call, or maybe you
want to wait and see if there are any IESG comments that you
could address at the same time. By that time, Dan will tell
you how to proceed.

---- comments
somewhat MUST change comments (easy, and basically admin
bureaucracy, but would be good to change):

  We do want a copyright statement in the DESCRIPTION clause of a module
  identity. So change
  OLD:
          DESCRIPTION
                "The MIB module for entities implementing the client
                side of the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
                (RADIUS) authentication protocol."
  NEW:
          DESCRIPTION
                "The MIB module for entities implementing the client
                side of the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
                (RADIUS) authentication protocol.
                Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2006).  This version
                of this MIB module is part of RFC xxxx; see the RFC
                itself for full legal notices."
          -- RFC Ed.: replace xxxx with actual RFC number & remove this note


-  radiusAuthServerInetAddress OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX    InetAddress
        MAX-ACCESS read-only
        STATUS    current
        DESCRIPTION
              "The IP address of the RADIUS authentication
                server referred to in this table entry, using
                the version neutral IP address format."
        ::= { radiusAuthServerExtEntry 3 }

  according to RFC4001, you MUST specify which object of SYNTAX
  InetAddressType controls the format of this object. I t is clear
  which one  it is, b ut it would be good to add that.

- radiusAuthClientServerInetPortNumber
  According to RFC4001, you must specify what the value zero means
  for this object.

- for this one
  radiusAuthClientExtMIBCompliance MODULE-COMPLIANCE
        STATUS  current
        DESCRIPTION
              "The compliance statement for authentication
              clients implementing the RADIUS Authentication
              Client IPv6 Extensions MIB.  Implementation of
              this module is for entities that support IPv6,
              or support IPv4 and IPv6."
        MODULE  -- this module
              MANDATORY-GROUPS { radiusAuthClientExtMIBGroup }

        ::= { radiusAuthClientMIBCompliances 2 }

  I think it would be better to do:

  radiusAuthClientExtMIBCompliance MODULE-COMPLIANCE
        STATUS  current
        DESCRIPTION
              "The compliance statement for authentication
              clients implementing the RADIUS Authentication
              Client IPv6 Extensions MIB.  Implementation of
              this module is for entities that support IPv6,
              or support IPv4 and IPv6."
        MODULE  -- this module
              MANDATORY-GROUPS { radiusAuthClientExtMIBGroup }

        OBJECT    radiusAuthServerInetAddressType
        SYNTAX    InetAddressType { ipv4(1), ipv6(2) }
        DESCRIPTION
          "An implementation is only required to support IPv4 and
            globally unique IPv6 addresses."

        OBJECT    radiusAuthServerInetAddress
        SYNTAX    InetAddress (SIZE(4|16))
        DESCRIPTION
          "An implementation is only required to support IPv4 and
            globally unique IPv6 addresses."
