Description: A cficonInterfaceSwapTable entry contains 2 interface indices to be swapped among other objects.

A management station wishing to create an entry should first obtain a unique serial number, e.g. get the cficonInterfaceSwapNextIndex scalar as the index to this sparse table. The station should then create the associated instance of the row status object.

Note that when creating a row in this table, the cficonSwapPortEntryStatus, cficonSwapInterfaceIndexFirst and cficonSwapInterfaceIndexSecond are all required. The values of cficonSwapInterfaceIndexFirst and cficonSwapInterfaceIndexSecond should be different. If for any reason the new row can not be created, no swap action will be performed.

If the table entry creation is successful, the value of cficonSwapInterfaceActionStatus will be pending(1) first and the SNMP response will be returned as success. When the swap starts, the value will be executing(2). After the swap action is done, the value will be either success(3) or failure(4). cficonSwapInterfaceFailReason contains the failure reason to indicate where the failure is from. cficonSwapInterfaceSystemError is a user readable description given by the failure causing sub-module.

The management station should delete the entry after the value of cficonSwapInterfaceActionStatus being either success(3) or failure(4).
