entStateStandby
Module: ENTITY-STATE-MIB
OID (symbolic): ENTITY-STATE-MIB::entStateStandby
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.131.1.1.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: EntityStandbyStatus
Access: read-only
Description: The standby status for this entity.
Some entities will exhibit only a subset of the remaining standby state values. If this entity cannot operate in a standby role, the value of this object will always be 'providingService'.
What is entStateStandby?
This object reports whether the entity is actively providing service or sitting in a standby/backup role, for entities capable of redundant operation. Admins use it to confirm which unit in a redundant pair -- such as a pair of supervisor modules -- is currently active versus standing by as backup. For example, entStateStandby reading providingService on one supervisor and a standby value on its peer confirms the redundancy pair is correctly configured with only one active master.
