MIBs Supported by the SNMP Agent

Creating a Table Row

To create a table row, you need to supply the index value that uniquely identifies the
new row. You can then build a Set operation message that contains:
The object identifier (OID) for the RowStatus object of the row being created,
appended by the unique index value (name) for the new row
A RowStatus value that specifies either "createAndGo" or "createAndWait"
A value for each table row object for which no default exists
Table 3-8 identifies which objects have default values. Any table row object that has a
default value is assigned that value if you provide none in your Set operation.
To create a new row in zagInTrapdestTable with the name and index value of "#TRAP,"
you would provide an OID and a RowStatus value for inclusion in the Set PDU:
name: 1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.1.35.84.82.65.80
objectSyntax: 1
simpleSyntax: 1
value: 4
The integer sequence in the name line contains the OID for zagInTdRowStatus
(1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.155.1.7.4.2.1.1) appended with the OID for "#TRAP"
(35.84.82.65.80). In this example, "#TRAP" is the name and index value for the new
row. Its OID is derived from the ASCII character set. In the value line of this example,
a RowStatus value of 4 (createAndGo) has been specified.
Note. Row naming conventions must comply with those imposed for SCF. The row name must
begin with a "#" character, followed by an alphabetic character and then one to six
alphanumeric characters. All alphabetic characters in the name must be uppercase.
After receiving the Set operation message, the SNMP agent creates the RowStatus
object and all other columnar objects that have default values. (See
row Name object (zagInEpName, zagInTdName, zagInPfName) represents a special
case. That object is read-only; therefore, the SNMP agent creates it by extracting the
row's index value from the initial row creation varbind.
If your Set operation is successful, the SNMP agent assigns one of the following
RowStatus values to your entry:
active (1) is assigned if you specified createAndGo (4) and all entry objects have
valid values assigned.
notInService (2) is assigned if you specified createAndWait (5) and all entry objects
have valid values assigned.
notReady (3) is assigned if an object that has no default value has not yet been
assigned a value.
Once a new row has been created from a management application Set operation, that
table row is immediately accessible from SCF.
