entStateOper
Module: ENTITY-STATE-MIB
OID (symbolic): ENTITY-STATE-MIB::entStateOper
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.131.1.1.1.3
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 therefore 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 entStateOper while the entStateAdmin object has a value other than 'unlocked'. In these cases, this object MUST have a value of 'unknown'.
What is entStateOper?
This object reports whether the entity is actually functioning -- enabled, disabled, or testing -- independent of its administrative lock setting. Admins use it as the real health indicator for a component, since an entity can be administratively unlocked yet still operationally disabled due to a hardware fault. For example, entStateOper reporting disabled while entStateAdmin shows unlocked would point an admin toward a genuine hardware failure rather than an intentional lockout.
