Object
A control object to protect against duplication of control
commands. Over some transport/network protocols, it is
possible for SNMP messages to get duplicated. Such
duplication, if it occurred at just the wrong time could
cause serious disruption to the collection and retrieval of
accounting data, e.g., if a SNMP message setting
acctngFileCommand to 'swapToNewFile' were to be duplicated,
a whole file of accounting data could be lost.
To protect against such duplication, a management
application should retrieve the value of this object, and
include in the Set operation needing protection, a variable
binding which sets this object to the retrieved value.

Syntax

- Base type
Integer32
Type Description
Represents integer-valued information used for atomic
operations. When the management protocol is used to specify
that an object instance having this syntax is to be
modified, the new value supplied via the management protocol
must precisely match the value presently held by the
instance. If not, the management protocol set operation
fails with an error of `inconsistentValue'. Otherwise, if
the current value is the maximum value of 2^31-1 (2147483647
decimal), then the value held by the instance is wrapped to
zero; otherwise, the value held by the instance is
incremented by one. (Note that regardless of whether the
management protocol set operation succeeds, the variable-
binding in the request and response PDUs are identical.)
The value of the ACCESS clause for objects having this
syntax is either `read-write' or `read-create'. When an
instance of a columnar object having this syntax is created,
any value may be supplied via the management protocol.
When the network management portion of the system is re-
initialized, the value of every object instance having this
syntax must either be incremented from its value prior to
the re-initialization, or (if the value prior to the re-
initialization is unknown) be set to a pseudo-randomly
generated value.
