Description: An entry describes a IGMP/MLD snooping profile; that is a set of configuration parameters that can be applied to either systems or ports.

A peer SNMP entity may create a profile by setting an instance of cmsProfileStatus to 'createAndWait' or 'createAndGo'. Observe that an implementation that does not support these options must specify these limitations in an agent capabilities statement.

Other management entities (e.g., the local console) may perform actions resulting in the creation of a member link. In these cases, the system must automatically create a row in the cmsProfileTable.

A peer SNMP entity may destroy a profile by setting the corresponding instance of cmsProfileStatus to 'destroy'. Observe that an implementation that does not support this option must specify this limitation in an agent capabilities statement.

Other management entities may perform actions resulting in the destruction of a profile. In these cases, the system must automatically destroy the corresponding row in the cmsProfileTable.
