The status of this atmHostControlEntry. An entry may not exist in the active state unless all objects in the entry have an appropriate value. Specifically, appropriate values for the associated instances of atmHostControlMaxDesiredEntries, atmHostControlPriority, and atmHostControlAddrCollectScope must be set before this object may be set to active(1). This control entry may be created and destroyed independently of the associated portSelGrpEntry, however its associated atmHostTable can exist only when the portSelGrpEntry controlling this collection is active. If this object is not equal to active(1), all associated entries in the atmHostTable shall be deleted.
