The source DESCRIPTION for this object is empty; based on its name, it sets the lower bound of a value range used to classify traffic when this row is configured for range-based rather than exact matching. Admins pair it with teraIpClassMaxRange to define a numeric window, for example a range of port numbers or DSCP values, that traffic must fall within to match this classification entry. As an illustrative example, an admin classifying a block of application ports might set this to 5000 as the starting port of the matched range.
