This object is used to synchronize the modification of the IP parameters used by the protocol stack based on the gbnCommonIP MIB objects. This allows the user to change gbnCommonIPMACAddr, gbnCommonIPIpAddress, gbnCommonIPGateAddress, and gbnCommonIPNetMask, and then apply the changes to the unit using apply(4). If gbnCommonIPStatus returns notModified(1), no modifications were made to any gbnCommonIP MIB objects. If gbnCommonIPStatus returns modified(2), one or more objects were changed, but have not been applied. Both notModified(1) and modified(2) are read-only values; the agent returns a SNMP_BADVALUE for sets using these values. Both restore(3) and apply(4) are valid SET values. If one or more of the gbnCommonIP objects were modified, the user can restore the parameters to a mirror of the NVM values using restore(3).
