esconPortInFiberStatus
Module: IBMESCON-MIB
OID (symbolic): IBMESCON-MIB::esconPortInFiberStatus
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.5.17.1.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: Status of the fiber into this device from the host:
inLoff = the light is off on the fiber into this device from the host inOls = the fiber into this device from the host is in an intermediate state between light-off and light-on inIdle = the fiber into this device from the host is in the light-on state, and is ready to transfer data from the host to this device inUnknown = the agent cannot determine the status of the fiber into this device from the host
What is esconPortInFiberStatus?
This enumerated object reports the light status of the fiber running from the host into this ESCON device, such as light-off, an intermediate offline-sequence state, ready-for-data (idle), or unknown. Admins check this to diagnose why data isn't flowing from the host, distinguishing a fiber-level light problem from a higher-layer protocol issue. For example, a value of inLoff(1) would tell the admin the incoming fiber has no light at all, pointing to a physical cabling or transceiver fault rather than a configuration problem.
