This object contains an appropriate value to be used for coifccCcIndex when creating entries in the coifccCrossConnectTable. The value 0 indicates that no unassigned entries are available. To obtain the coifccCcIndex value for a new entry, the manager issues a management protocol retrieval operation to obtain the current value of this object. The agent will modify the value to the next unassigned index, when a new row is created in coifccCrossConnectTable with coifccCcIndex value equal to the current value of this object. After deletion of a row in coifccCrossConnectTable the agent will determine through its local policy when its index value will be made available for reuse.
