Hi Daniel,
Has the focus changed since this last discussion? Can anyone explain why
that is?
The focus has not changed. There are two things I want out of it. Get
statistics from the BSCs (we will query the nat/mux, which will..), turn off
RF via the nat/mux.
I asked Daniel to start with something easy (this is why we have plenty of
strcmp and if/else), it probably just appeared easy to add get/set for
existing properties. As the second step I asked Daniel to somehow consolidate
this and look at if we can use things from the VTY.
Even if we suddenly have a need for a lot of
write/modify type settings from
the SNMP side, we should not have two ways how to modify a single parameter
inside OpenBSC. In that case we may need some code that can sort-of
automatically 'export' all controlif parameter to the VTY, and remove the
current code that sets this parameter from the VTY.
I agree that there should not be two ways in the long run. To ease Daniels
work and have progress I asked him to ignore this problem of duplication for
now and move things forward.
Personally I would like to see the branch to be in a state that it is solving
the use case that we have discussed. This way we know what we will need from
the code, as the second step I would look into integration and see how we will
deal with the VTY overlap.
