RE: VLAN ID in draft-ietf-ops-vlanid-tc-mib-00.txt

[Kristine Adamson <adamson@us.ibm.com>]

Bert,
   Thanks for the feedback.  I checked
with our kernel folks and they will be changing our externals so that the
only VLAN ID values that can be configured are 1-4094.  So we can
use the VlanIdOrNone TC.  Do you have any idea when you might be posting
a new version of this draft, or do you feel there is more discussion needed
before a new version could be posted?  Thanks,

 As  the TC's
