| Description | This table allows the users to configure and monitor
the FSPF parameters that are per-interface (identified
by a t11FspfIfIndex value), per-Fabric (identified by a
t11FspfFabricIndex value), and per-switch (identified by
values of fcmInstanceIndex and fcmSwitchIndex).
Creating a row in this table via t11FspfIfRowStatus
provides the means to specify non-default parameter value(s)
for an interface at a time when the relevant row in this
table would not otherwise exist because the interface is
either down or it is not an E_Port, but the corresponding
row in the t11FspfTable must already exist.
After the non-default values have been specified for a
port's parameters, they need to be retained in this table,
even when the port becomes 'isolated'. However, having
unnecessary rows in this table clutters it up and makes
those rows that are useful harder for an NMS to find.
Therefore, when an E_Port becomes isolated, its row gets
deleted if and only if all of its parameter values are the
default values; also, when an E_Port becomes non-isolated
in a particular Fabric, a row in this table needs to exist
and is automatically created, if necessary.
The specific conditions for an automated/implicit deletion
of a row are:
a) if the corresponding interface is no longer an E_Port
(e.g., a G_Port which is dynamically determined to be an
F_Port), and all configurable parameters have default
values; or
b) if the interface identified by t11FspfIfIndex no longer
exists (e.g., because a line-card is physically removed);
or
c) if the corresponding row in the t11FspfTable is deleted. |
