A threshold for determining when a MAC Condition
report should be generated. The condition is true
when the ratio, ((delta snmpFddiMACLostCt + delta
snmpFddiMACErrorCt) / (delta snmpFddiMACFrameCt +
delta snmpFddiMACLostCt)) x 2**16. exceeds the
threshold. It is used to determine when a station
has an unacceptable frame error threshold. The
sampling algorithm is implementation dependent.
Any attempt to set this variable to a value of
less than one shall result in a badValue error.
Those who are familiar with the SNMP management
framework will recognize that thresholds are not
in keeping with the SNMP philosophy. However,
this variable is supported by underlying SMT
implementations already and maintaining this
threshold should not pose an undue additional
burden on SNMP agent implementors.
