ifStackStatus

Module: IF-MIB

OID (symbolic): IF-MIB::ifStackStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.2.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: RowStatus

Access: read-create

Description: The status of the relationship between two sub-layers.

Changing the value of this object from 'active' to 'notInService' or 'destroy' will likely have consequences up and down the interface stack. Thus, write access to this object is likely to be inappropriate for some types of interfaces, and many implementations will choose not to support write-access for any type of interface.

What is ifStackStatus?

This read-create RowStatus object governs the row in ifStackTable that records a layering relationship between two sub-layers, such as a VLAN interface sitting on top of a physical port. Because moving a row from active to notInService or destroy can ripple effects up and down the whole interface stack, many agents restrict or disallow write access to it for certain interface types. For example, deleting a row here is how an agent models unstacking a VLAN subinterface from the physical Ethernet port it was riding on.
