What is chassisCurrentCharacter?
This read-only INTEGER shows which role — gne, ne, or sne — the chassis is actually operating as right now, as opposed to chassisCharacter which is the saved setting that only applies after a restart. Admins compare the two to see if a pending role change is still awaiting a reboot.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.1.2.8 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DEVICE-MIB::chassisCurrentCharacter
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.1.2.8.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DEVICE-MIB::chassisCurrentCharacter.1
