18.11.2    HC-RMON-MIB Support
The mediaIndependentTable deletes a row if the SetRequest PDU contains a mediaIndependentStatus 
with a value of invalid (4). The varbind’s OID instance value identifies the row for deletion. You can 
recreate a deleted row in the table if desired.
18.11.1.2 Row Creation in cMediaIndependentHistoryControlTable
SNMP row creation and deletion for the cMediaIndependentHistoryControlTable follows the same 
processes as for the MediaIndependentTable; only the variables differ.
In order to create a row, the SetRequest PDU should contain the following:
 • cMediaIndependentHistoryControlDataSource and its desired value
 • cMediaIndependentHistoryControlOwner and its desired value
 • cMediaIndependentHistoryControlStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
18.11.2 HC-RMON-MIB Support
For the ONS 15454, the implementation of the high-capacity remote monitoring information base 
(HC-RMON-MIB, or RFC 3273) enables 64-bit support of existing RMON tables. This support is 
provided with the etherStatsHighCapacityTable and the etherHistoryHighCapacityTable. An additional 
table, the mediaIndependentTable, and an additional object, hcRMONCapabilities, are also added for 
this support. All of these elements are accessible by any third-party SNMP client should have the ability 
to upload RFC 3273 SNMP MIB variables in the etherStatsHighCapacityTable, 
etherHistoryHighCapacityTable, or mediaIndependentTable.
18.11.3 Ethernet Statistics RMON Group
The Ethernet Statistics group contains the basic statistics monitored for each subnetwork in a single table 
called the etherStatsTable.
18.11.3.1 Row Creation in etherStatsTable
The SetRequest PDU for creating a row in this table should contain all the values needed to activate a 
row in a single set operation, and an assigned status variable to createRequest. The SetRequest PDU 
object ID (OID) entries must all carry an instance value, or type OID, of 0.
In order to create a row, the SetRequest PDU should contain the following:
 • The etherStatsDataSource and its desired value
 • The etherStatsOwner and its desired value (size of this value is limited to 32 characters)
 • The etherStatsStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
The etherStatsTable creates a row if the SetRequest PDU is valid according to the above rules. When the 
row is created, the SNMP agent decides the value of etherStatsIndex. This value is not sequentially 
allotted or contiguously numbered. It changes when an Ethernet interface is added or deleted. The newly 
created row will have etherStatsStatus value of valid (1).
If the etherStatsTable row already exists, or if the SetRequest PDU values are insufficient or do not make 
sense, the SNMP agent returns an error code.
