ADN-MIB::adnsonetMediumAppliqueFailure records how long the applique board (the optical transceiver module handling laser and receiver functions) has been in a failure state. Engineers use this to determine whether to perform a hot-swap of the applique or if the failure is intermittent. A counter that keeps increasing indicates the applique is repeatedly failing and should be replaced; a static counter suggests a one-time event that cleared.
