The cause of the creation of this conceptual row. It could be one of the three methods: (1) user configured, including via management protocol set operations, configuration file, command line or equivalent methods; (2) learned from the partner DLSw Capabilities Exchange messages; and (3) dynamic, e.g., learned from ICanReach messages, or LAN explorer frames. Since only individual MAC addresses can be dynamically learned, dynamic entries will all have a mask of all FFs. The public versus private distinction for user- configured resources applies only to local resources (UC remote resources are private), and indicates whether that resource should be advertised in capabilities exchange messages sent by this node.
