This object is used to assign the state of a port license for an interface. This object is configurable by the network management application. 'eligible' - the interface will be configured to be eligible to acquire a given port license. 'inEligible' - the interface will be configured not to be eligible to acquire a given port license. If the interface has already acquired a port license, the license is released and the interface is then configured not to be eligible to acquire port license. 'acquire' - the interface will first be made eligible to acquire a port license, and will then attempt to acquire one. If a port license is available, the interface will acquire it and this object's value will remain as 'acquire'. If port licenses are insufficient, the interface is made eligible, and this object's value will become 'eligible'. Given that there are enough port licenses available, a port license will be acquired on a given interface only under the following conditions: 1. The user configures this object to 'acquire' (OR) 2. When a linkUp notification (defined in IF-MIB) is generated on a Fibre Channel interface for which the value of fcIfPortType (defined in CISCO-FC-FE-MIB) is 'internal', and the value of clmPortLicensingConfig is 'eligible'. The conditions under which a port license will be acquired when a linkUp notification is generated on other types of interfaces will be added to this definition in the future, as and when appropriate.
