A read-create RowStatus controlling creation and deletion of an OSPF area configuration entry, supporting active(1), createAndGo(4), and destroy(6), where a newly created row automatically transitions to and reads back as active rather than staying in an intermediate creation state. An admin uses this to provision a new OSPF area by setting it to createAndGo, after which the row immediately becomes active, or to remove an area's configuration entirely by setting it to destroy. An admin creating a new OSPF area would set this object to createAndGo(4) along with the area's other configuration, and a subsequent read of this object would then return active(1).
