| Description | This object contains the next appropriate value to
be used for mplsTunnelIndex when creating entries in
mplsTunnelTable. If the number of unassigned entries
is exhausted, a retrival operation will return a
value of 0. This object may also return a value of
0 when the LSR is unable to accept conceptual row
creation, for example, if the mplsTunnelTable is
implemented as read-only. To obtain the value of
mplsTunnelIndex for a new entry, the manager must
first issue a management protocol retrieval
operation to obtain the current value of this
object. The agent should modify the value to reflect
the next unassigned index after each retrieval
operation. After a manager retrieves a value the
agent will determine through its local policy when
this index value will be made available for reuse. |
