This object reports the FIB synchronization state for this specific CEF peer, distinct from the peer's general operational state tracked elsewhere. Because CEF peers must first come up and then separately reload and rebuild their FIB copy, an admin sees this move through peerFIBReloadRequest and peerFIBReloading states after a card reset, and until it reaches peerFIBUp the card's forwarding table is not fully synchronized, meaning some destinations may be unreachable through it. After reseating a line card, an admin might poll this object every few seconds and watch it move from peerFIBDown through peerFIBReloading to peerFIBUp, confirming the card is now safe to carry production traffic again.
