Description: This management information module supports configuration, control and monitoring of redundancy protection for various kinds of components on Cisco managed devices.

It is meant to be generic enough to handle basic redundancy control and monitoring for many types of redundant member components and redundancy architectures as long as there is an Entity MIB entPhysicalIndex and entPhysicalVendorType assigned to each member component.

It is designed so that the tables can be augmented in other extension MIBS which build upon this MIB by adding additional objects that may be specific to a particular type of redundancy or member component.

This MIB can also be used in cases where some types of redundancy groups and members don't require explicit user configuration. One example may be redundant fan assemblies. In those cases, the managed system should internally assign group and member indexes, so that it can provide read-only access to the group and member tables. This allows MIB monitoring for these types of redundant entities.
