ctAliasMarkInactive
Module: CTRON-ALIAS-MIB
OID (symbolic): CTRON-ALIAS-MIB::ctAliasMarkInactive
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.3.7.1.1.2.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: TruthValue
Access: read-write
Description: This object provides the control to mark this entry to inactive.
When an entry is created by the agent, this is set to false(2). A network management application can set this value to true(1), indicating that the entry is no longer needed. Once this object has been set to true(1), it cannot be set to false(2).
If the alias is detected again by the agent, the agent may create a new entry for the Alias.
When an agent needs to free up resources, it may choose to delete those entries marked inactive.
What is ctAliasMarkInactive?
This is a write control that lets a management application mark this specific alias entry as no longer needed, moving it from its initial false(2) state to true(1). An admin uses it to manually retire an alias entry it knows is stale, understanding that once set to true it cannot be reverted, and if the same alias reappears the agent will simply create a fresh entry for it. For example, after decommissioning a device whose old MAC alias is cluttering the table, an admin sets ctAliasMarkInactive to true(1) on that entry to flag it for cleanup.
