| Description | This object is used to reset the EPON interface. The
interface may be unavailable while the reset occurs and
data may be lost.
Setting this object to running(1) will cause the
interface to enter into running mode. Setting this
object to reset(2) will cause the interface to go into
reset mode. When getting running(1), the interface is in
running mode. When getting reset(2), the interface is in
reset mode.
The write operation is not restricted in this document
and can be done at any time. Changing
dot3ExtPkgObjectReset state can lead to a reset of the
respective interface, leading to an interruption of
service for the users connected to the respective EPON
interface.
This object is applicable for an OLT and an ONU. At the
OLT, it has a distinct value for each virtual interface.
A reset for a specific virtual interface resets only
this virtual interface and not the physical interface.
Thus, a virtual link that is malfunctioning can be
reset without affecting the operation of other virtual
interfaces.
The reset can cause Discontinuities in the values of the
counters of the interface, similar to re-initialization
of the management system. Discontinuity should be
indicated by the ifCounterDiscontinuityTime object of
the Interface MIB module. |
