What is cienaCesExtAggTimeInProtectState?

Reports how long this MC-LAG node has cumulatively spent in a protection (failover) state, i.e., actively covering for a failed primary. A high value here relative to overall uptime suggests this node's primary counterpart has a recurring or ongoing problem, since a healthy pairing should spend most of its time in normal (non-protection) operation rather than actively substituting for a failed peer. If TimeInProtectState is a large fraction of total UpTime, that's a sign the primary side of this MC-LAG has been failing over unusually often rather than running stably.
