mpls Interface Entry

1.3.6.1.3.96.1.1.1

A conceptual row in this table is created automatically by an LSR for every interface capable of supporting MPLS and which is configured to do so. A conceptual row in this table will exist if and only if a corresponding entry in ifTable exists with ifType = mpls(166). If this associated entry in ifTable is operationally disabled (thus removing MPLS capabilities on that interface), the corresponding entry in this table MUST be deleted shortly thereafter. An conceptual row with index 0 is created if the LSR supports per-platform labels. This conceptual row represents the per-platform label space and contains parameters that apply to all interfaces that participate in the per-platform label space. Other conceptual rows in this table represent MPLS interfaces that may participate in either the per-platform or per- interface label spaces, or both. Implementations that either only support per-platform labels, or have only them configured, may choose to return just the mplsInterfaceEntry of 0 and not return the other rows. This will greatly reduce the number of objects returned. Further information about label space participation of an interface is provided in the DESCRIPTION clause of mplsInterfaceLabelParticipationType.
