if Extensions Receive Address Status

1.3.6.1.2.1.12.3.1.3

This object has the value nonVolatile(4) for those entries in the table which are valid and will not be deleted by the next restart of the managed system. Entries having the value volatile(3) are valid and exist, but have not been saved, so that will not exist after the next restart of the managed system. Entries having the value other(1) are valid and exist but are not classified as to whether they will continue to exist after the next restart. Entries having the value invalid(2) are invalid and do not represent an address for which an interface accepts frames. Setting an object instance to one of the values other(1), volatile(3), or nonVolatile(4) causes the corresponding entry to exist or continue to exist, and to take on the respective status as regards the next restart of the managed system. Setting an object instance to the value invalid(2) causes the corresponding entry to become invalid or cease to exist. It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to receive tabular information from agents that corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper interpretation of such entries requires examination of the relevant ifExtnsRcvAddrStatus object instance.
