Description: This represents the role of the pseudowire in a Protection bundle.

What is cienaCesMplsPwProtectionRole?

This indicates this pseudowire's role specifically within a Protection bundle construct -- primary-pseudowire(1), backup-pseudowire(2), or stand-alone-pseudowire(3) -- which appears to be a related but distinct protection concept from the primary/secondary PwRole object seen earlier, possibly representing a different protection scheme, such as a formally defined bundle grouping versus a simple paired PW relationship. An admin working with Ciena's protection features needs to check both this field and cienaCesMplsPwRole to fully understand how a given PW's protection is structured, since the platform apparently exposes protection state through more than one modeling construct. Seeing stand-alone-pseudowire(3) here confirms this PW has no bundle-based protection partner, separate from whatever the PwRole object might also indicate.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.18.1.4.1.1.42
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CIENA-CES-MPLS-MIB::cienaCesMplsPwProtectionRole

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.18.1.4.1.1.42.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CIENA-CES-MPLS-MIB::cienaCesMplsPwProtectionRole.1
