[IPP] MIB objects as IPP attributes

[Michael Sweet]

Bill,

I believe the "power-log-col" attribute retains the same organization as the Power Log Group in 5106.4.  The "log-id" member attribute corresponds to the LogID element, "power-state" to PowerState, and so forth.  The collection syntax groups these member attributes together so that we don't need "parallel arrays" like we do for some of the other MIB-derived attributes ("printer-alert" and "printer-alert-description", for example), so the Nth value in "power-log-col" corresponds to the Nth group in the PowerLog group in XML or SNMP - it's a 1-to-1 mapping.

(Ira: It looks like we never registered any of the values in PWG 5106.4 with IANA...)

For example, a query of log id would result in an integer response, which may refer to one of the 10 power log entries  retained.  Will a query of  an element in a power log entry (e.g., power-state-message) refer to the log entry identified in the log id response ? How does one query elements in other power log entries?
