| Description | Setting this object to reset(2) causes the
repeater to transition to its initial state as
specified in clause 12 [IEEE Std 802.12].
Setting this object to noReset(1) has no effect.
The agent will always return the value noReset(1)
when this object is read.
After receiving a request to set this variable to
reset(2), the agent is allowed to delay the reset
for a short period. For example, the implementor
may choose to delay the reset long enough to
allow the SNMP response to be transmitted. In
any event, the SNMP response must be transmitted.
This action does not reset the management
counters defined in this document nor does it
affect the vgRptrPortAdminStatus parameters.
Included in this action is the execution of a
disruptive Self-Test with the following
characteristics:
1) The nature of the tests is not specified.
2) The test resets the repeater but without
affecting configurable management
information about the repeater.
3) Packets received during the test may or
may not be transferred.
4) The test does not interfere with
management functions.
After performing this self-test, the agent will
update the repeater health information (including
vgRptrInfoOperStatus), and send a
vgRptrResetEvent. |
