| Description | The status of this conceptual table row entry.
In order to set an entry to the 'active' status,
the MIB objects below must be set to proper values:
Other objects default values are used for the DEPI session
docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigCableMacIfIndex
docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigRemoteAddr
docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigTSID
docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigDEPIMode
docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigRsrcAllocReq
docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigMethod
docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigPhyFlag
docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigChannelId must be unique within
the MAC sublayer domain in order to set this entry to
active,
PHY parameters listed below are not required to be
populated in this table, then default values are used to
populate the entry or implementation may opt to not
instantiate those objects.

When the row entry is 'active' the DEPI tunnel control
and/or the DEPI session is established. Retries and
timeouts are proper of the DEPI Tunnel protocol used.
For L2TPv3 while the entry is active the M-CMTS must
continue to set the DEPI session and log the respective
errors for unsuccessful operations.
Relationship with the IfTable ifAdminStatus
Setting ifAdminStatus from ifTable to the interface pointed
by this entry
(docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionConfigCableMCmtsDownIfIndex) to
'down' sets this entry Row Status to 'notInService'. A set
to ifAdminStatus to 'up' while in 'down' state sets back
the Row Status to 'active'.
The opposite is not true: a set to this object to 'active'
when previously 'notInService' and while ifAdmiStatus is
'down' returns an error 'inconsistentValue', such only one
point of contact is needed to enable and disable the
interface.
Setting this object to 'notInService' while ifAdminStatus is
'down' sets ifOperStatus to 'down'.
Setting this entry to 'notInService' will tear down the
DEPI session. DEPI Tunnel Control teardown in the absence
of sessions is Tunnel protocol dependent, e.g., for L2TPv3
Control Connections may use tunnel Idle Timeout objects
defined in L2TP-MIB.
Due to the dependencies of IfAdminStatus and this table row
Status, M-CMTS Core and EQAM devices MUST not age out
entries with Row Status 'notInService' and
docsIfMCmtsDepiSessionInfoState in
'ifAdmiStatusSetToDown'. |
