An entry describing the general properties of a threshold
template.
The template is created using the nmsifthTemplateRowStatus
object. Prior to creating an entry in the table, the manager
should obtain a unique value of nmsifthTemplateIndex by reading
the nmsifthTemplateIndexNext object. The values of
nmsifthTemplateName and nmsifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownType must be
provided before activating the entry.
After creating an entry, thresholds can be defined for the
template by creating entries with the same value of
nmsifthTemplateIndex in the nmsifthThresholdTable. The template
can then be assigned to one or more interfaces using the
nmsifthTemplateIfAssignTable.
Once an entry has been activated, the value of
nmsifthTemplateName cannot be modified. In order to use a new
value of nmsifthTemplateName, a new template must be defined.
The values of nmsifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownType and
nmsifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownTime may be modified when the entry
is active. See the description clause of
nmsifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownType for further caveats on
modification of that object.
