rmonHistoryDataSource OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OBJECT IDENTIFIER
MAX-ACCESS read-create
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This object identifies the source of the data for
which historical data was collected and
placed in a media-specific table on behalf of this
historyControlEntry. This source can be any
interface on this device. In order to identify
a particular interface, this object shall identify
the instance of the ifIndex object, defined
in RFC 2233 [17], for the desired interface.
For example, if an entry were to receive data from
interface #1, this object would be set to ifIndex.1.
The statistics in this group reflect all packets
on the local network segment attached to the identified
interface.
An agent may or may not be able to tell if fundamental
changes to the media of the interface have occurred and
necessitate an invalidation of this entry. For example, a
hot-pluggable ethernet card could be pulled out and replaced
by a token-ring card. In such a case, if the agent has such
knowledge of the change, it is recommended that it
invalidate this entry.
This object may not be modified if the associated
historyControlStatus object is equal to valid(1)."
