An entry describes a single set of IP prefixes contained by an
IP address pool. In this context, an IP prefix also describes
a IPv4 subnet.
A peer SNMP entity may create a set of IP prefixes by setting
an instance of ciapPrefixStatus to 'createAndWait' or
'createAndGo'. Observe that an implementation that does not
support these options must specify these limitations in an
agent capabilities statement.
Other management entities (e.g., the local console) may perform
actions resulting in the creation of a set of IP prefixes. In
these cases, the IP address pool manager must automatically
create a row in the ciapPrefixTable.
A peer SNMP enitty may destroy a set of IP prefixes by setting
the corresponding instance of ciapPrefixStatus to 'destroy'.
Observe that an implementation that does not support this
option must specify this limitation in an agent capabilities
statement.
Other management entities may perform action resulting in the
destruction of a set of IP prefixes. In these cases, the IP
address pool manager must automatically destroy the
corresponding row in the ciapPrefixTable.
