| Description | When retrieved, this object delivers the maximum
lifetime in seconds of all member rules of this group,
i.e., of all rows in the midcomRuleTable that have the
same values for midcomRuleOwner and midcomGroupIndex.
Successfully writing to this object modifies the
lifetime of all member policies. Successfully
writing a value of 0 terminates all member policies
and implicitly deletes the group as soon as all member
entries are removed from the midcomRuleTable.
Note that after a group's lifetime is expired or is
set to 0, still the corresponding entry in the
midcomGroupTable will exist as long as terminated
member policy rules are stored as entries in the
midcomRuleTable.
Writing to this object is processed by the MIDCOM-MIB
implementation by choosing a lifetime value that is
greater than 0 and less than or equal to the minimum of
the requested value and the value specified by object
midcomConfigMaxLifetime:
0 <= lt_granted <= MINIMUM(lt_requested, lt_maximum)
where:
- lt_granted is the actually granted lifetime by the
MIDCOM-MIB implementation
- lt_requested is the requested lifetime of the MIDCOM
client
- lt_maximum is the value of object
midcomConfigMaxLifetime
SNMP SET requests to this object may be rejected or the
value of the object after an accepted SET operation may be
less than the value that was contained in the SNMP SET
request. |
