This INTEGER object reports and controls the status of a dynamically loadable module — values include loaded, unloaded, error, or the action requests load, unload, create, and delete. Admins use it both to check whether a module is currently active and to trigger loading, unloading, creating, or deleting a module entry via an SNMP SET. For example, setting this to load(4) after configuring dlmodName and dlmodPath attempts to load that module into the running agent, after which the status transitions to loaded(1) on success or error(3) on failure.
