What is agentCableTesterIfIndex?

This Unsigned32 (default 0) selects which port the Virtual Cable Test will run on, and is limited to copper-based ports since the test relies on electrical (TDR) characteristics that don't apply to fiber. An admin sets this before setting agentCableTesterStatus to active(1) to target the specific port suspected of a bad cable.
