| Description | The table which contains the information in the Edit
Buffers, one Edit Buffer per management domain. The
information for a particular management domain is
initialized, by a 'copy' operation, to be the current global
VLAN information for that management domain. After
initialization, editing can be performed to add VLANs,
delete VLANs, or modify their global parameters. The
information as modified through editing is local to this
Edit Buffer. An apply operation using the
vtpVlanEditOperation object is necessary to instanciate the
modified information as the new global VLAN information for
that management domain.
To use the Edit Buffer, a manager acts as follows:
1. ensures the Edit Buffer for a management domain is empty,
i.e., there are no rows in this table for this management
domain.
2. issues a SNMP set operation which sets
vtpVlanEditOperation to 'copy', and vtpVlanEditBufferOwner
to its own identifier (e.g., its own IP address).
3. if this set operation is successful, proceeds to edit the
information in the vtpVlanEditTable.
4. if and when the edited information is to be instantiated,
issues a SNMP set operation which sets vtpVlanEditOperation
to 'apply'.
5. issues retrieval requests to obtain the value of
vtpVlanApplyStatus, until the result of the apply is
determined.
6. releases the Edit Buffer by issuing a SNMP set operation
which sets vtpVlanEditOperation to 'release'.
Note that the information contained in this table is not
saved across agent reboots. |
