Description: The index of an entry in the midcomConfigIfTable.

For values different from zero, this object identifies an IP interface by containing the same value as the ifIndex object associated with the interface.

Note that the index of a particular interface in the ifTable may change after a re-initialization of the middlebox, for example, after adding another interface to it. In such a case, the value of this object may change, but the interface referred to by the MIDCOM-MIB MUST still be the same. If, after a re-initialization of the middlebox, the interface referred to before re-initialization cannot be uniquely mapped anymore to a particular entry in the ifTable, then the value of object midcomConfigIfEnabled of the same entry MUST be changed to false(2).

If the object has a value of 0, then values specified by further objects of the same entry apply to all interfaces for which there is no explicit entry in the midcomConfigIfTable.
