2.4. Capabilities Statements

In the current framework, the informational document [9] uses the MODULE-CONFORMANCE macro to describe an agent's capabilities with respect to one or more MIB modules. Converting such a description for use with the SNMPv2 framework requires these changes:

  1. Use the macro name AGENT-CAPABILITIES instead of MODULE- CONFORMANCE.

  2. The STATUS clause must be added.

  3. For all occurrences of the CREATION-REQUIRES clause, note the slight change in semantics, and omit this clause if appropriate.
