pktcEventReset

This MIB object allows a management station to
clear the local log of generated events, reset the
management event descriptions, or both.
          
MTAs generate management events.  These events are stored
in the MIB table pktcEventLogTable.  If a management
station needs to clear all the current entries (e.g.,
after a troubleshooting operation is complete), it can
do so by setting the resetEventLogTable(0) bit to a
value of '1'.
          
The MTA is pre-configured with the events that it can
generate.  This is stored in the MIB table
pktcEventTable.  This table also contains the
descriptions associated with these events.  These
descriptions can be modified by a management station.
However, if the management station wishes to reset the
descriptions to factory defaults, it can do so by
setting the resetEventTable(1) bit to a value of '1'.
          
The MTA actions are summarized below:
          
  Bit resetEventLogTable(0) set to a value of '1'
   - delete all entries in pktcEventLogTable;
          
   - reset the value of pktcEventLogIndex to '0'.
          
  Bit resetEventTable(1) set to a value of '1'
   - reset the pktcEventTable to the
     factory default values.
          
  Bits resetEventLogTable(0) and resetEventTable(1)
  set to a value of '1'
   - perform the above actions as though they were
     performed individually (in any order).
          
  Setting a reset bit to a value of '0' MUST NOT
  result in any action.
          
The MTA MUST perform the above actions regardless of
persistence (i.e., storage in non-volatile memory).
          
The MTA MUST always return a value of '00' when
this MIB object is read.
          
A management station that resets tables using this MIB
object needs to be careful about the impact to other
management stations that may be reliant on the
information contained in the table(s) being reset.  For
example, say management station A creates a specific set
of event descriptions in the event table
(pktcEventTable) for debugging purposes and expects any
generated events to report the modified descriptions.  In
such a case, if another management station resets the
event table to factory defaults, any subsequent events
will not contain the modified descriptions expected by
management station A.  Such multi-manager contentions are
not addressed within this MIB module.  Thus, management
stations are RECOMMENDED to use this MIB object with
care and caution, and only when absolutely required.
