vtp Vlan Edit Table

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.4.2

The table which contains the information in the Edit Buffers, one Edit Buffer per management domain. The information for a particular management domain is initialized, by a 'copy' operation, to be the current global VLAN information for that management domain. After initialization, editing can be performed to add VLANs, delete VLANs, or modify their global parameters. The information as modified through editing is local to this Edit Buffer. An apply operation using the vtpVlanEditOperation object is necessary to instanciate the modified information as the new global VLAN information for that management domain. To use the Edit Buffer, a manager acts as follows: 1. ensures the Edit Buffer for a management domain is empty, i.e., there are no rows in this table for this management domain. 2. issues a SNMP set operation which sets vtpVlanEditOperation to 'copy', and vtpVlanEditBufferOwner to its own identifier (e.g., its own IP address). 3. if this set operation is successful, proceeds to edit the information in the vtpVlanEditTable. 4. if and when the edited information is to be instantiated, issues a SNMP set operation which sets vtpVlanEditOperation to 'apply'. 5. issues retrieval requests to obtain the value of vtpVlanApplyStatus, until the result of the apply is determined. 6. releases the Edit Buffer by issuing a SNMP set operation which sets vtpVlanEditOperation to 'release'. Note that the information contained in this table is not saved across agent reboots.
