Section 12, pg.25 says:
[[ DESCRIPTION clause for pwFcsRetentionCfg OBJECT-TYPE ]] "The local configuration of Frame Check Sequence (FCS) retention for this PW. FCS retention can be configured for PW types High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), and Ethernet only. If the implementation | does not support FCS retention, an error MUST be reported in pwFcsRetentionStatus. This object MAY be changed only if the PW is not active."
It should say:
"The local configuration of Frame Check Sequence (FCS) retention for this PW. FCS retention can be configured for PW types High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), and Ethernet only. If this object is set to fcsRetentionEnable(2) and the implementation does not support the FCS retention for this PW, an error MUST be indicated by setting pwFcsRetentionStatus to localFcsRetentionCfgErr(4). This object can be changed only if the PW is not active."
Notes:
Rationale:
The original DESCRIPTION indicated unconditional signaling of an error, whether
the activation of unsupported FCS retention is requested or not.
This is contrary to the DESCRIPTION for pwFcsRetentionStatus.
