how to add an entry in dot1dStaticEntry without RowStatus

RFC 4188 defines the dot1dStaticEntry as follows:

dot1dStaticEntry OBJECT-TYPE
       SYNTAX      Dot1dStaticEntry
       MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
       STATUS      current
       DESCRIPTION
           "Filtering information configured into the bridge by
           (local or network) management specifying the set of
           ports to which frames received from a specific port and
           containing a specific destination address are allowed to
           be forwarded."
       REFERENCE
           "IEEE 802.1D-1998: clause 14.7.2"
       INDEX   { dot1dStaticAddress, dot1dStaticReceivePort }
       ::= { dot1dStaticTable 1 }



 Dot1dStaticEntry ::=
       SEQUENCE {
           dot1dStaticAddress       MacAddress,
           dot1dStaticReceivePort   Integer32,
           dot1dStaticAllowedToGoTo OCTET STRING,
           dot1dStaticStatus        INTEGER
       }

The columns defined for this table are all denoted read-create. However, there is no RowStatus column defined for this table.

How do I add a row in this table via SNMP, given that the table does not have a RowStatus column?

Solution

Yeah just off the top of my head that looks totally broken to me, unless there's some extension I'm not aware of.

But it looks like dot1dStaticStatus is a sort of non-standard RowStatus.

If you want to use this feature I think you'll have to ask the vendor for the equipment you're using that implements the MIB, to clarify.
