Interpretation #3
Request
Interpretation request - IEEE Std 802.1AE-2006

In the MIB module text of this standard, the data type 
secyCipherSuiteProtectionOffset is defined on page 100 as of type 
INTEGER and in the OBCT-TYPE macro it has a SYNTAX of Integer32. This 
will cause compilation errors when the MIB module is processed by
the standard tools.

I believe that the appropriate fix for this would be to change the 
definition of this data type on page 100 from INTEGER to Integer32.
Response

The following response was approved by 802.1 at its November 2006 meeting.

The 802.1 Working Group agrees that the proposal made in the interpretation request, namely that the appropriate solution is to change the definition of the secyCipherSuiteProtectionOffset data type on page 100 of the standard from INTEGER to Integer32, is correct. A corrected version of the MIB text, with this change made, has been posted on the 802.1 website at: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/MIBs/802-1ae-2006-mib-corrected.txt.
