The status of the AuthNodes entry. The primary use of this object is for modifying the AuthNodes table. It is also returned in the enetAuthViolation trap, in which case it indicates whether the violating MAC address was found in the AuthNodes table. Setting this entry to invalid(1) causes the entry to be deleted from the table. Setting a new entry with valid(2) causes the entry to be created in the table. The response to a get request or get-next request will always indicate a status of valid(2), since invalid entries are removed from the table.
