port Copy X Entry

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.103.1.2.1.1

Describes a particular port copy extension entry. When creating an entry in this table using the 'createAndwait' method, the following rules are applied: - no SPAN consistency check is done for the entry until the entry is activated. An entry will not be activated if it fails the SPAN consistency check described for the 'createAndGo' method. -an instance remains in the 'notReady' state until the associated portCopyStatus changes to 'active'. When the agent processes a request of adding an entry using 'createAndGo' method or a request that sets the value of portCopyStatus object to 'active', the following rules are applied: The agent will add the entry to a SPAN session having the same portCopySessionNo, or create a new session if it does not exist. To join an existing session, either portCopySource or portCopyDest, but not both, must exist in one of the entries from the same SPAN session. In addition, the following actions will be taken after a successful join: 1. The portCopyDirection, portCopyLoVlanMask, and portCopyHiVlanMask values will overwrite the existing values associated with this port copy session. 2. The portCopyDestLoVlanMask, portCopyDestHiVlanMask, and portCopyOption values will overwrite the existing values associated the same portCopyDest and this port copy session. 3. If the value of portCopyDest object does not exist in the existing SPAN session, each of the ports identified in the portCopySource is added to this SPAN session. For example, given an existing SPAN session having ports 1, 2, and 3 as source ports, and port A as the destination port, if an entry is added by an NMS with indices of (2,B), the agent will also add entries for the other source ports (e.g. (1,B) and (3,B)) to the session. The same algorithm for adding entries will be applied if the portCopySource does not already belong to this SPAN session. When the agent processes a request to change the RowStatus of an entry from 'active' to 'notInService', the following rules are applied: - That entry will be removed from its participating SPAN session. The new RowStatus state will be 'notInService'. - all entries in the table that have the same value of portCopySessionNo and same value of portCopySource are also set to 'NotInService'. When agent processes a request to delete an entry, the following rules are applied: - the entry is simply removed if it is not currently active. - if the portCopySessionNo value is non-zero and the value of portCopyRemoveSrc object is set to 'true', then all entries with the same value of portCopySessionNo and same value of portCopySource are deleted. - if the portCopySessionNo value is non-zero and the value of portCopyRemoveSrc object is set to 'false', then all entries with the same value of portCopySessionNo and same value of portCopyDest are deleted. - if the last portCopy entry is removed from a session, then the session information is also removed.
