| Description | This object contains an appropriate value to be
used for mplsTunnelHopListIndex when creating
entries in the mplsTunnelHopTable. 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 mplsTunnelHopTable is implemented
as read-only. To obtain the value of
mplsTunnelHopListIndex for a new entry in the
mplsTunnelHopTable, the manager issues a
management protocol retrieval operation to obtain
the current value of mplsTunnelHopIndex. After
each retrieval operation, the agent should modify
the value to reflect the next unassigned index.
After a manager retrieves a value the agent will
determine through its local policy when this index
value will be made available for reuse. |
