Object

column mandatory r/w ObjectIdentifier
A control variable used to start and stop
operator-initiated interface tests.
    Most OBJECT IDENTIFIER values assigned
to tests are defined elsewhere, in associ-
ation 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.
    Note that noTest is a syntactically valid
object identifier, and any conformant
implementation of ASN.1 and BER must be able
to generate and recognize this value.
    When read, this object always returns
the most recent value that ifExtnsTestType
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.
