csi Join Window Period Next Free Index

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.725.1.1.8.2

An integer which may be used as a new index in csiJoinWindowPeriodTable. The special value of 0 indicates that no more new entries can be created in csiJoinWindowPeriodTable. This object is a legal value (if non-zero) for an index that is not currently used in the relevant table. The Network Management Application reads this variable and uses the (non-zero) value read when creating a new row with an SNMP SET. When the SET is performed, the agent must determine whether the value is indeed still unused; two Network Management Applications may attempt to create a row (configuration entry) simultaneously and use the same value. If it is currently unused, the SET succeeds and the agent monotonically increases the value of this object. However if the value is in use, the SET fails. The Network Management Application must then re-read this variable to obtain a new usable value.
