| Description | The index of an entry in the midcomConfigFirewallTable.
For values different from 0, this object identifies an
IP interface by containing the same value as the ifIndex
object associated with the interface.
Note that the index of a particular interface in the
ifTable may change after a re-initialization of the
middlebox, for example, after adding another interface to
it. In such a case, the value of this object may change,
but the interface referred to by the MIDCOM-MIB MUST still
be the same. If, after a re-initialization of the
middlebox, the interface referred to before
re-initialization cannot be uniquely mapped anymore to a
particular entry in the ifTable, then the entry in the
midcomConfigFirewallTable MUST be deleted.
If the object has a value of 0, then values specified by
further objects of the same entry apply to all interfaces
for which there is no explicit entry in the
midcomConfigFirewallTable. |
