Object
A control variable used to start and stop operator-
initiated interface tests. Most OBJECT IDENTIFIER values
assigned to tests are defined elsewhere, in association with
specific types of interface. However, this document assigns
a value for a full-duplex loopback test, and defines the
special meanings of the subject identifier:
noTest OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 0 0 }
When the value noTest is written to this object, no action
is taken unless a test is in progress, in which case the
test is aborted. Writing any other value to this object is
only valid when no test is currently in progress, in which
case the indicated test is initiated.
When read, this object always returns the most recent value
that ifTestType was set to. If it has not been set since
the last initialization of the network management subsystem
on the agent, a value of noTest is returned.
