Description: This object indicates the role of this chassis in the virtual switch architecture.
What is cvsChassisRole?
This reports a chassis's current role, such as active or standby, within the virtual switch architecture. An admin cares because knowing which chassis is currently active versus standby is fundamental to understanding where control-plane processing and forwarding decisions are currently happening. For example, after a failover event, checking this value on both chassis confirms which one has taken over as active.
