JuniNextRouterIndex

  • Base type Unsigned32

Coordinates routerIndex value allocation for entries in an associated router table. Clients must first read the routerIndex value from this object, then create an entry having the routerIndex value in the associated router table. The DESCRIPTION clause for an object of this type must identify the associated router table. A GET of this object returns the next available routerIndex value to be used to create an entry in the associated router table; or zero, if no valid routerIndex value is available. This object also returns a value of zero when it is the lexicographic successor of a varbind presented in an SNMP GETNEXT or GETBULK request, for which circumstance it is assumed that routerIndex allocation is unintended. Successive GETs will typically return different values, thus avoiding collisions among cooperating management clients seeking to create table entries simultaneously. Unless specified otherwise by its MAX-ACCESS and DESCRIPTION clauses, an object of this type is read-only, and a SET of such an object returns a notWritable error.
