ctAliasMacAddressIsActive
Module: CTRON-ALIAS-MIB
OID (symbolic): CTRON-ALIAS-MIB::ctAliasMacAddressIsActive
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.3.7.1.1.5.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: TruthValue
Access: read-only
Description: The status of this entry.
A true(1) value indicates the alias is active.
A false(2) value indicates an entry which has been marked inactive by network management, using the ctAliasEntryStatus object in the ctAliasControlTable.
Entries which have been marked inactive may remain in the table to allow consistent mappings between network management stations until an agent needs to free resources.
What is ctAliasMacAddressIsActive?
This TruthValue reports whether this MAC-address-keyed alias entry is currently active or has been marked inactive by network management. It lets an admin looking a host up by its MAC address quickly tell whether the association is still current or just retained for consistency. For example, if an admin queries this table for a specific MAC and sees ctAliasMacAddressIsActive as false, they know that host's entry is stale rather than confirming it's currently on the network.
