bistSwitchModulesCommunicating

Module: BLADE-MIB

OID (symbolic): BLADE-MIB::bistSwitchModulesCommunicating

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.2.5.2.113

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: The switch modules that are communicating on the chassis. The switch modules are listed as a bitmap. The bitmap is a string containing a list of 1's and 0's that is as long as the number of switch modules supported. If a switch module is installed and functioning in a bay, a 1 is present in the string in the position representing the bay ID as read from left to right. For example, if switch modules are installed and functioning in bays 1 and 3, and 4 switch modules are supported, the string would look like '1010'.

What is bistSwitchModulesCommunicating?

Reports which installed switch modules are actively communicating with the chassis, using the same bitmap format as bistSwitchModulesInstalled. A bay installed but not communicating here points to a switch module that needs a reseat or replacement.
