PagpGroupCapability

• Base type Integer32

The group-capability value of an interface. Indicates the ability of the interface to aggregate together with other interfaces to form aggregate links, or agports. The value of PagpGroupCapability has no meaning except by comparison (equal or not equal) to other PagpGroupCapability values for different interfaces (ifIndex values) having the same device (pagpDeviceId). If two different interfaces on the same device have the same PagpGroupCapability, then they are capable of being aggregated into the same agport. If they have different PagpGroupCapability values, then they cannot be aggregated together. The assignment of PagpGroupCapability values to the variables which use them can be made either by the network administrator or by the managed system, depending on the variable. One easily-used and understood means of assigning PagpGroupCapability values is to use, for each interface's PagpGroupCapability, the lowest ifIndex (in numerical value) of all of the intefaces with which this interface can aggregate. The use of this technique is not required. Therefore, when examining a variable using the PagpGroupCapability, the user must not assume that the values have any meaning, other than by comparison for equality with other interfaces' values on the same device. Note also that a single managed system may utilize multiple pagpDeviceId values. PagpGroupCapability values may be compared only among those interfaces with the same pagpDeviceId values.
