This parameter represents the entity that is connected to this Interface. It can be used instead of ifCreateConnectedTo. It is an OBJECT IDENTIFIER. This parameter's SYNTAX allows the following possibilities: - can be simply used for entity that is not an interface - is not limited to include up to 32 bits The value of this parameter is a pointer to an existing row of a table, where the entity connected to this Interface is defined (i.e. the pointer uniquely identifies the connected entity). Examples: In case of an interface (from 2863.ifTable): points to 'ifEntry' of corresponding row = <ifEntry OID>.<ifIndex> In case of a VPI/VCI (from 2515.atmVclTable): points to 'atmVclEntry' of corresponding row = <atmVclEntry OID>.<ATM>.VPI.VCI In case no entity is connected, value = 0 .
