This read-create RowStatus object creates, modifies, and deletes a network element entry (a node identifier plus port identifier) within a preferred route, again supporting only active, createAndGo, and destroy values, set to active by the system for valid entries. An admin adding a new hop to an existing preferred route's element list would set this to createAndGo alongside the node and port IDs for that hop. An admin removing an obsolete hop from the preferred route would set this object to destroy.
