The row status variable, used in accordance to installation and removal conventions for conceptual rows. The rowstatus of a currently active row in the vrrpOperTable is constrained by the operational state of the corresponding virtual router. When `vrrpOperRowStatus' is set to active(1), no other objects in the conceptual row, with the exception of `swL3VrrpOperAdminState', can be modified. Prior to setting the `swL3VrrpOperRowStatus' object from `active' to a different value, the `swL3VrrpOperAdminState' object must be set to `down' and the `vrrpOperState' object be transitioned to `initialize'. To create a row in this table, a manager sets this object to either createAndGo(4) or createAndWait(5). Until instances of all corresponding columns are appropriately configured, the value of the corresponding instance of the `vrrpOperRowStatus' column will be read as notReady(3). In particular, a newly created row cannot be made active(1) until (minimally) the corresponding instance of `swL3VrrpOperVrId' has been set and there is at least one active row in the `swL3VrrpAssoIpAddrTable' defining an associated IP address for the virtual router.
