This read-create RowStatus value controls the lifecycle of a filter table entry, and cannot be set to active unless the columns required by the configured filter type object have all been properly set, otherwise an inconsistentValue error results. An admin must configure all the match-criteria columns implied by the filter type bits before activating the row, or the activation attempt will fail. For example, an admin who set the filter type to include the vlanId test but forgot to set the VLAN ID value would get an error attempting to set this object to active.
