If you're looking for a relatively stable code base, then you'd be better off working with 5.4.x. It obviously difficult to predict future development, but I suspect that the current MAIN trunk may well see significant changes before 5.5 is released. > Also before I do this port and move to IPV6 I have to resolve our current > problems > with RMON alarms and events MIB. Do you mean RMON alarms/events, or DisMan alarms/events? I've got no experience with the RMON implementation. But as I understand it, the DisMan Event MIB is basically a more flexible re-working of the earlier RMON functionality. > I saw a post a while back that indicated one could only monitor oids > registered > with the old API. This is what I determined as well. As far as the DisMan Event MIB is concerned, the API used to implement a given MIB should make absolutely no difference to internal monitoring. There may be issues relating to monitoring remote agents (and possibly information provided by subagents). But I can't see how old API vs new API registrations could make any difference whatsoever. > I see some posts about a new alarm table implementation but not sure if > this is the correct path to follow. If you are talking about the new DisMan Event MIB re-write, then this is definitely the way forward. This has superseded the original code. If you are talking about the RMON Alarm table, then pass. > Do you know if 5.4 or the dev 5.5 intends to address the RMON > alarms / events area? Not as far as I know. My belief is that the DisMan work has taken over from the similar RMON tables. But I could easily be wrong.
