| Description | The range of port numbers.
This object is used as input to a request for establishing
a policy rule as well as for indicating the properties of
an established policy rule. It is relevant to the
operation of the MIDCOM-MIB implementation only if the
value of object midcomTransportProtocol in the same entry
has a value other than 0.
If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has the
value newEntry(1) or setting(2), then this object can be
written by a manager in order to specify the requested
size of the port range. With single(1) just a single
port number is requested, with pair(2) a consecutive pair
of port numbers is requested with the lower number being
even. Requesting a consecutive pair of port numbers may
be used by RTP [RFC3550] and may even be required to
support older RTP applications.
Writing to this object in any state other than
newEntry(1), setting(2) or reserved(7) will always fail
with an 'inconsistentValue' error.
Note that this error code is SNMP specific. If the MIB
module is used with other protocols than SNMP, errors with
similar semantics specific to those protocols should be
returned.
If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has a
value of either reserved(7) or enabled(8), then this
object will have the value that it had before the
transition to this state.
If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has a
value other than newEntry(1), setting(2), reserved(7), or
enabled(8), then the value of this object is irrelevant. |
