| Description | An integer value which may be used as a new index in
csiProfileTable. The special value of 0 indicates
that no more new entries can be created in csiProfileTable,
and value 1 is not a valid csiProfileTable index. Thus the
value of this object starts at 2 and monotonically increases
after a profile is created.
The Network Management Application reads this variable and uses
the non-zero value when creating a new row with an SNMP SET.
When the SET is performed, the agent must determine whether the
value is indeed still unused, for two Network Management
Applications may attempt to create a row (profile entry)
simultaneously and use the same value. If it is currently
unused, the SET succeeds and the agent increases the value of
this object. If the value is in use, however, the SET fails.
The Network Management Application must then re-read this
variable to obtain a new usable value. |
