diffServDataPathStart

Module: DIFFSERV-MIB

OID (symbolic): DIFFSERV-MIB::diffServDataPathStart

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.97.1.1.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: RowPointer

Access: read-create

Description: This selects the first Differentiated Services Functional Data Path Element to handle traffic for this data path. This RowPointer should point to an instance of one of: diffServClfrEntry diffServMeterEntry diffServActionEntry diffServAlgDropEntry diffServQEntry

A value of zeroDotZero in this attribute indicates that no Differentiated Services treatment is performed on traffic of this data path. A pointer with the value zeroDotZero normally terminates a functional data path.

Setting this to point to a target that does not exist results in an inconsistentValue error. If the row pointed to is removed or becomes inactive by other means, the treatment is as if this attribute contains a value of zeroDotZero.

What is diffServDataPathStart?

A RowPointer marking the entry point of a DiffServ processing chain for one interface and direction (ingress or egress) — it points to the first classifier, meter, action, dropper, or queue element that touches the traffic. Setting it to zeroDotZero means no DiffServ treatment is applied to that data path; admins wire it up to build a QoS policy chain on an interface.
