An entry in virtual context table. Each entry provides information about a particular virtual context. To create a virtual context, following procedure is used: - choose the appropriate value for entPhysicalIndex to point to an entry(with entPhysicaClass = 'module') in entPhysicalTable. - specify the name of the virtual context. - create an entry in the table by specifying ciscoVirtualContextRowStatus value of 'createAndGo' or 'createAndWait'. One or more virtual contexts can be created in a module. Each of these contexts are identified by a unique name. Resources can be assigned/mapped to each virtual context. Configurations and Monitoring can be done each virtual context independent of each other. Configuration changes in one virtual context will not affect other.
