Description: This table, modeled after ifStackTable from IF-MIB, contains information on the possible 'on-top-of' relationships between the multiple sub-layers of network interfaces (as opposed to actual relationships described in ifStackTable). In particular, it contains information on which sub-layers MAY possibly run 'on top of' which other sub-layers, as determined by cross-connect capability of the device, where each sub-layer corresponds to a conceptual row in the ifTable. For example, when the sub-layer with ifIndex value x can be connected to run on top of the sub-layer with ifIndex value y, then this table contains:

ifCapStackStatus.x.y=true

The ifCapStackStatus.x.y row does not exist if it is impossible to connect between the sub-layers x and y.

Note that for most stacked interfaces (e.g., 2BASE-TL) there's always at least one higher-level interface (e.g., PCS port) for each lower-level interface (e.g., PME) and at least one lower-level interface for each higher-level interface, that is, there is at least a single row with a 'true' status for any such existing value of x or y.

This table is read-only as it describes device capabilities.
