Cabletron Trunk Row Status

1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.2.20.1.1.3.1.6

This object lets network managers create and delete trunk interfaces, on systems that support this optional capability. It does not control the activation and deactivation of these interfaces; they are controlled by 'ifAdminStatus' in the ifTable. However, changing row state from active to notInService. will have the side effect of changing their 'ifAdminStatus' values to 'noPresent' or 'down', thus causing any active trunk connections to be terminated. When creating a trunk interface, it is up to the management station to determine a suitable 'ctTrunkIndex'. To facilitate interoperability, agents should not put any restrictions on the 'ctTrunkIndex' beyond the obvious ones that it be valid and unused. The Managed Objects that must be set in this table for a row to change from nonExistent/notReady to notInService/Active is simply an index. Ports can then be added to the Smart TRUNK via the ifStackTable. If you create a trunk interface via this object, it will initially have 'ifAdminStatus' = 'down' 'ifOperStatus' = 'down' when RowStatus is changed to active.
