Description | The status of the current row. This object is
used to add, delete, and disable rows in this
table. When the status changes to active(1), a row
will also be added to the interface map table below
and a row will be added to the ifTable. These rows
SHOULD not be removed until the status is changed
from active(1). The value of ifIndex for the row that
is added to the ifTable is determined by the agent
and MUST follow the rules of the ifTable. The value
of ifType for that interface will be frDlciEndPt(193)
for a frame relay circuit, atmVciEndPt(194) for an
ATM circuit, or another ifType defining the circuit
type for any other circuit.
When this object is set to destroy(6), the associated
row in the interface map table will be removed and the
ifIndex will be removed from the ifTable. Removing
the ifIndex MAY initiate a chain of events that causes
changes to other tables as well.
The rows added to this table MUST have a valid object
identifier for ciCircuitObject. This means that the
referenced object must exist and it must be in a table
that supports circuits.
The object referenced by ciCircuitObject MUST exist
prior to transitioning a row to active(1). If at any
point the object referenced by ciCircuitObject does not
exist or the row containing it is not in the active(1)
state, the status SHOULD either age out the row or
report notReady(3). The effects transitioning from
active(1) to notReady(3) are the same as those caused
by setting the status to destroy(6).
Each row in this table relies on information from other
MIB modules. The rules persistence of data SHOULD follow
the same rules as those of the underlying MIB module.
For example, if the circuit defined by ciCircuitObject
would normally be stored in non-volatile memory, then
the row SHOULD also be non-volatile. |
