cpqNicIfPhysAdapterStatus
Module: CPQNIC-MIB
OID (symbolic): CPQNIC-MIB::cpqNicIfPhysAdapterStatus
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.14
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: The physical adapter status.
The following values are valid:
unknown(1) The instrument agent was not able to determine the status of the adapter. The instrument agent may need to be upgraded.
ok(2) The physical adapter is operating properly.
generalFailure(3) The physical adapter has failed.
linkFailure(4) The physical adapter has lost link. Check the cable connections to this adapter.
What is cpqNicIfPhysAdapterStatus?
This read-only enumeration reports the physical adapter's status: ok, generalFailure, or linkFailure, with unknown meaning the instrument agent couldn't determine it. An admin uses this to distinguish a total adapter failure from a failure that's specifically about losing link (cabling or far-end device), which drives troubleshooting in different directions. For example, linkFailure(4) points an admin toward checking the cable and the far-end switch port rather than suspecting the NIC hardware itself.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
