dot1ag Cfm Md Ma Next Index

Value to be used as the index of the MA table entries, both the dot1agCfmMaNetTable and the dot1agCfmMaCompTable, for this Maintenance Domain when the management entity wants to create a new row in those tables. ::= { dot1agCfmMdEntry 7 } SYNTAX RowStatus MAX-ACCESS read-create STATUS current DESCRIPTION The status of the row. The writable columns in a row can not be changed if the row is active. All columns MUST have a valid value before a row can be activated. ::= { dot1agCfmMdEntry 8 } -- ****************************************************************** -- The Maintenance Association Object. This group contains all the -- MIB objects used to read, create, modify, and delete Maintenance -- Associations in the MIB. -- ****************************************************************** -- ****************************************************************** -- The Maintenance Association (MA) Network Table -- ****************************************************************** SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF Dot1agCfmMaNetEntry MAX-ACCESS not-accessible STATUS current DESCRIPTION The Maintenance Association table. Each row in the table represents an MA. An MA is a set of MEPs, each configured with a single service instance. This is the part of the complete MA table that is constant across all Bridges in a Maintenance Domain, and across all components of a single Bridge. That part of the MA table that can vary from Bridge component to Bridge component is contained in the dot1agCfmMaCompTable. Creation of a Service Instance establishes a connectionless association among the selected DSAPs. Configuring a Maintenance association End Point (MEP) at each of the DSAPs creates a Maintenance Association (MA) to monitor that connectionless connectivity. The MA is identified by a Short MA Name that is unique within the Maintenance Domain and chosen to facilitate easy identification of the Service Instance. Together, the Maintenance Domain Name and the Short MA Name form the Maintenance Association Identifier (MAID) that is carried in CFM Messages to identify incorrect connectivity among Service Instances. A small integer, the Maintenance association End Point Identifier (MEPID), identifies each MEP among those configured on a single MA (802.1ag clauses 3.19 and 18.2). This table uses two indices, first index is the index of the Maintenance Domain table. The second index is the same as the index of the dot1agCfmMaCompEntry for the same MA. The writable objects in this table need to be persistent upon reboot or restart of a device. REFERENCE 18.2
