This is the row-status object for adding or deleting entries in the filter group table, but it can only successfully be set to active once cfgFilterGroupType has already been configured for that same row. This ordering dependency is a specific gotcha for anyone scripting filter-group creation via SNMP: attempting to activate the row before its type is set will fail, so the type must be established first or in the same transaction. An SNMP script that sets this to active immediately after creating a new filter group row, without first setting cfgFilterGroupType, would have that activation attempt rejected.
