configFatalErr
Module: CTATX-MIB
OID (symbolic): CTATX-MIB::configFatalErr
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.3.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING
Access: read-only
Description: This is a 32 byte array which contains information about the cause of the previous system reset. This will describe the circumstances which forced the system software to perform a reboot. The values in the first byte have the following meanings (0) Power failure, (1) Watchdog Timeout, (2) NMS Requested Shutdown, (3-255) Fatal Error (next byte contains the hwIndex of the module which encountered the error; remaining 30 bytes contain additional information).
What is configFatalErr?
This read-only OCTET STRING is a 32-byte array describing the cause of the previous system reset, with the first byte indicating power failure, watchdog timeout, NMS-requested shutdown, or a fatal error (with the affected module's hwIndex in the next byte). An administrator reads it to root-cause an unexpected reboot without needing console access at the time it happened. For example, after finding the device rebooted overnight, the admin reads configFatalErr and sees the first byte value 1, indicating a watchdog timeout rather than a deliberate shutdown.
