The MIB module is for management of information
to support packet filtering on IP protocols.
The cippfIpProfileTable allows users to create
delete, and get information about filter profiles.
Filter profiles are uniquely identified by the
profile names. Filter profiles can either be of
Simple or Extended usage types, and the usage type
cannot be changed once it has been created.
The cippfIfIpProfileTable applies the filtering
profiles to device interfaces running IP. A filter
profile can be applied to multiple interfaces.
The cippfIpFilterTable contains ordered lists of
IP filters for all the filtering profiles.
Filters and profiles are related if they are of
the same filter profile name. Filters can only
be created if their associated filter profiles
already exist in the cippfIpProfileTable.
Filters of the same profile name belongs to a
common profile.
The cippfIfIpProfileTable can be configured with
information independent from the other. However,
if the name of a profile in the cippfIfIpProfileTable
matches that of any profile in the
cippfIpProfileTable and the profile name of any
filter entry in the cippfIpFilterTable, the profile
is 'active' and the filter entry is being applied
to IP traffic passing through the attached device
interfaces. Therefore, any change to the filters
in the cippfIpFilterTable or the profile itself in
the cippfIpProfileTable will affect all the
attached interfaces.
