| Description | The external IP address (A3).
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.
If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has the
value newEntry(1), setting(2), or reserved(7), then this
object can be written by a manager in order to specify the
external IP address for which an enable policy rule is
requested to be established. 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 the
value 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. |
