ctEntStateOper

Module: CTRON-ENTITY-STATE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CTRON-ENTITY-STATE-MIB::ctEntStateOper

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.2.31.1.1.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: EntityOperState

Access: read-only

Description: The operational state for this entity.

Note that unlike the state model used within the Interfaces MIB [RFC2863], this object does not follow the administrative state. An administrative state of down does not predict an operational state of disabled.

A value of 'testing' means that entity currently being tested and cannot there fore report whether it is operational or not.

A value of 'disabled' means that an entity is totally inoperable and unable to provide service both to entities within its containment hierarchy, or to other receivers of its service as defined in ways outside the scope of this MIB.

A value of 'enabled' means that an entity is fully or partially operable and able to provide service both to entities within its containment hierarchy, or to other receivers of its service as defined in ways outside the scope of this MIB.

Note that some implementations may not be able to accurately report ctEntStateOper while the ctEntStateAdmin object has a value other than 'unlocked'. In these cases, this object MUST have a value of 'unknown'.

What is ctEntStateOper?

This is the read-only actual operating condition of this entity, which does not simply mirror its administrative state the way the Interfaces MIB does. It lets an admin catch a component that is administratively enabled but not yet actually functioning, such as one still running self-tests. For example, a fan module with an admin state of enabled but an operational state of testing tells the admin the component is running diagnostics rather than actively cooling yet.
