Address Search Status

In Use: A management station has obtained ownership.

Not in Use: No other management station has obtained ownership.

A management station first retrieves the values of the appropriate instances of the Address Search Lock and Address Search Status objects, periodically repeating the retrieval if necessary, until the value of Address Search Status is ‘Not In Use’. The management station then tries to set the Address Search Lock In Use. If the set operation succeeds, then the management station has obtained ownership of the entry, and the value of Address Search Lock is incremented to 1. Failure of the set operation indicates that some other manager has obtained ownership of the entry.

Address Search State: The current state of the MAC address search on this hub.

Single: The hub detects the address on one port only.

Multiple: The hub detects the address on more than one port.

None: The hub does not detect the address of any port.

Address Search Group: The group number received whose source address is the same as the address searched.

Address Search Port: The port number received whose source address is the same as the address searched.

Address Search Owner: The entity that currently has ownership of this search entry.
