flowManagerInfoEntry

FLOW-METER-MIB · .1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.4.1

Object

row

Information about a particular meter 'task.'  By creating
an entry in this table and activating it, a manager requests
that the meter 'run' the indicated RuleSet.
            
The entry also specifies a HighWaterMark and a StandbyRuleSet.
If the meter's flow table usage exceeds this task's
HighWaterMark the meter will stop running the task's
CurrentRuleSet and switch to its StandbyRuleSet.
            
If the value of the task's StandbyRuleSet is 0 when its
HighWaterMark is exceeded, the meter simply stops running the
task's CurrentRuleSet.  By careful selection of HighWaterMarks
for the various tasks a manager can ensure that the most
critical RuleSets are the last to stop running as the number
of flows increases.
            
When a manager has determined that the demand for flow table
space has abated, it may cause the task to switch back to its
CurrentRuleSet by setting its flowManagerRunningStandby
variable to false(2).
