dlswTConnOperState 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.24.2.3.1.6

The state of this transport connection. The transport connection enters -connecting- state when DLSw makes a connection request to the transport layer. Once initial Capabilities Exchange is sent, the transport connection enters enters -initCapExchange- state. When partner capabilities have been determined and the transport connection is ready for sending CanUReach (CUR) messages, it moves to the -connected- state. When DLSw is in the process of bringing down the connection, it is in the -disconnecting- state. When the transport layer indicates one of its connections is disconnected, the transport connection moves to the -disconnected- state. Whereas all of the values will be returned in response to a management protocol retrieval operation, only two values may be specified in a management protocol set operation, -quiescing- and -disconnecting-. Changing the value to -quiescing- prevents new circuits from being established, and will cause a transport disconnect when the last circuit on the connection goes away. Changing the value to -disconnecting- will force off all circuits immediately and bring the connection to -disconnected- state.
