PtopoAddrSeenState

• Base type Enumeration

This TC describes the state of address detection for a particular type of port identifier used in the PTOPO MIB. The enumeration 'notUsed(1)' represents an entry for which the particular MIB object is not applicable to the remote connection endpoint, The enumeration 'unknown(2)' represents an entry for which the particular address collection state is not known. The enumeration 'oneAddr(3)' represents an entry for which exactly one source address (of the type indicated by the particular MIB object), has been detected. The enumeration 'multiAddr(4)' represents an entry for which more than one source address (of the type indicated by the particular MIB object), has been detected. An agent is expected to set the initial state of the PtopoAddrSeenState to 'notUsed(1)' or 'unknown(2)'. Note that the PTOPO MIB does not restrict or specify the means in which the PtopoAddrSeenState is known to an agent. In particular, an agent may detect this information through configuration data, or some means other than directly monitoring all port traffic.
