IEEE8021ServiceSelectorValue

An integer that uniquely identifies a generic MAC service. Examples of service selectors are a VLAN-ID (IEEE 802.1Q) and an I-SID (IEEE 802.1ah). An IEEE8021ServiceSelectorValue value is always interpreted within the context of an IEEE8021ServiceSelectorType value. Every usage of the IEEE8021ServiceSelectorValue textual convention is required to specify the IEEE8021ServiceSelectorType object that provides the context. It is suggested that the IEEE8021ServiceSelectorType object be logically registered before the object(s) that use the IEEE8021ServiceSelectorValue textual convention, if they appear in the same logical row. The value of an IEEE8021ServiceSelectorValue object must always be consistent with the value of the associated IEEE8021ServiceSelectorType object. Attempts to set an IEEE8021ServiceSelectorValue object to a value inconsistent with the associated IEEE8021ServiceSelectorType must fail with an inconsistentValue error. Note that a MIB object that is defined using this TEXTUAL-CONVENTION SHOULD clarify the maximum value (i.e., 4094, for a VLAN ID).
