I have a few questions about making changes to our existing MIB - since I don't 
have a strong background in SNMP and MIB protocol, I thought it would be best 
to ask the experts.

We have a set of traps that include a field indicating the location of the 
device as an integer(currently slot); in the next release, the location will be 
need to be returned as a string. So I'm guessing that we need to mark the old 
traps as deprecated, and create new traps that include the string instead of 
the integer value.  Is that the correct way to do this?

Also, it's okay to add a new "location" field to the existing device table and 
mark the original "slot" table entry as deprecated, as opposed to creating a 
whole new table, right? But then do I still populate it with a value, or does 
that leave a "gap" in the table when someone walks the entire table?

I just want to be sure that we're compliant with the MIB rules.

Thanks!
