6015.0. "RFC 1516 compilation pb" by PRSSOS::BONNAFE (Guy BONNAFE - CSC France) Thu Jun 09 1994 10:37
Trying to compile the "IEEE 802.3 Repeater Devices" mib ( RFC 1516 ),
the MTU ( 1st phase ) generates a "syntax error" message on the
following attribute, on the SYNTAX line :
rptrAddrTrackNewLastSrcAddress OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE(0 | 6))
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"This object is the SourceAddress of the last
readable frame (i.e., counted by
rptrMonitorPortReadableFrames) received by this
port. If no frames have been received by this
port since the agent began monitoring the port
activity, the agent shall return a string of
length zero."
REFERENCE
"Reference IEEE 802.3 Rptr Mgt, 19.2.6.2,
aLastSourceAddress."
::= { rptrAddrTrackEntry 5 }
As far as I know, the syntax "OCTET STRING (SIZE(0 | 6))" is correct.
Is it a known MTU limitation ?

It's a limitation in MTU. It cannot recognise the "|" symbol
as "OR". Anyway, the SIZE clause is basically ignored by MTU,
so you can safely comment it out in the mib.
