nodeState

Module: CASCADE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CASCADE-MIB::nodeState

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The state of the switch. The switch needs to await the state to be set to active before being fully operational after cold boot, when the NMS is reachable.

What is nodeState?

This reports, and can be forced into, the switch's overall operational state; after a cold boot the switch must reach active(3) before it's considered fully operational and reachable by the NMS. Seeing nodeState stuck at initializing(2) well after a reboot, rather than progressing to active(3), tells a technician the boot sequence hung rather than completed normally.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::nodeState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::nodeState.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.3.4.1 i <value>
