ifIndex = 0 is an invalid number for ifIndex (that's why) -> use something > 0  ;-)

Subject: if-mib implementation


Hello,
 
I am implementing if-mib for my Router. My ifTable contains ifIndex=0 as a valid index. Rfc2233 says that for all those interfaces who don't have a higherLayer, ifHigherLayer is assigned 0. Since i have ifIndex=0 as a valid index, i am not able to decide about this. Please help me in this regard.
 
Thanks,
Jassi.
