| Description | The value of this object indicates the desired status of
the policy rule. See the definition of midcomRuleOperStatus
for a description of the values.
When a midcomRuleEntry is created without explicitly setting
this object, its value will be notSet(3).
However, a SET request can only set this object to either
reserve(1) or enable(2). Attempts to set this object to
notSet(3) 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.
When the midcomRuleAdminStatus object is set, then the
MIDCOM-MIB implementation will try to read the respective
relevant objects of the entry and try to achieve the
corresponding midcomRuleOperStatus.
Setting midcomRuleAdminStatus to value reserve(1) when
object midcomRuleOperStatus has a value of reserved(7)
does not have any effect on the policy rule.
Setting midcomRuleAdminStatus to value enable(2) when
object midcomRuleOperStatus has a value of enabled(8)
does not have any effect on the policy rule.
Depending on whether the midcomRuleAdminStatus is set to
reserve(1) or enable(2), several objects must be set in
advance. They serve as parameters of the policy rule to be
established.
When object midcomRuleAdminStatus is set to reserve(1),
then the following objects in the same entry are of
relevance:
- midcomRuleInterface
- midcomRuleTransportProtocol
- midcomRulePortRange
- midcomRuleInternalIpVersion
- midcomRuleExternalIpVersion
- midcomRuleInternalIpAddr
- midcomRuleInternalIpPrefixLength
- midcomRuleInternalPort
- midcomRuleLifetime
MIDCOM-MIB implementation may also consider the value
of object midcomRuleMaxIdleTime when establishing
a reserve rule.
When object midcomRuleAdminStatus is set to enable(2),
then the following objects in the same entry are of
relevance:
- midcomRuleInterface
- midcomRuleFlowDirection
- midcomRuleMaxIdleTime
- midcomRuleTransportProtocol
- midcomRulePortRange
- midcomRuleInternalIpVersion
- midcomRuleExternalIpVersion
- midcomRuleInternalIpAddr
- midcomRuleInternalIpPrefixLength
- midcomRuleInternalPort
- midcomRuleExternalIpAddr
- midcomRuleExternalIpPrefixLength
- midcomRuleExternalPort
- midcomRuleLifetime
When retrieved, the object returns the last set value.
If no value has been set, it returns the default value
notSet(3). |
