Object

row
A row in this table represents a pseudowire (PW) virtual
connection across a packet network.  It is indexed by
pwIndex, which uniquely identifies a singular
connection.
A row can be created by an operator command from a
management plan of a PE, by signaling, or due to auto-
discovery process.  An operator's command can be issued via
a non-SNMP application; in such case, a row will be created
implicitly by the agent.
The read-create objects in this table are divided into
three categories:
1) Objects that MUST NOT be changed after row activation.
   These are objects that define basic properties of the
   PW (for example type, destination, etc.).
2) Objects that MAY be changed when the PW is
   defined as not active.  A change of these objects involves
   re-signaling of the PW or it might be traffic affecting.
   PW not active is defined as one of the following
   conditions:
       a) The pwRowStatus is notInService(2).
       b) The pwRowStatus is notReady(3).
       c) The pwAdminStatus is down(2).
If the operator needs to change one of the values for an
active row, the operator can either set the pwRowStatus to
notInService(2) or set pwAdminStatus to down(2).
Signaling (or traffic) is initiated again upon setting
the pwRowStatus to active(1) or setting the pwAdminStatus
to up(1) or testing(3), respectively.
            
3) Objects that MAY be changed at any time.
            
A PW MAY have an entry in the ifTable in addition to the
entry in this table.  In this case, a special ifType for PW
will be set in the ifTable, and the ifIndex in the ifTable
of the PW will be set in the pwIfIndex object in this table.
            
By default, all the read-create objects MUST NOT be
changed after row activation, unless specifically indicated
in the individual object description.
            
Manual entries in this table SHOULD be preserved after a
reboot; the agent MUST ensure the integrity of those
entries.  If the set of entries of a specific row are found
to be inconsistent after reboot, the PW pwOperStatus MUST
be declared as notPresent(5).
