Description: Indicates the status of this IP filter entry.

Setting this object to the value 'invalid(2)' has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the ipFilterTable. That is, it effectively disassociates the mapping identified with said entry. It is an implementation- specific matter as to whether the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table. Accordingly, management stations must be prepared to receive from agents tabular information corresponding to entries not currently in use. Proper interpretation of such entries requires examination of the relevant ipFilterStatus object.
