What is mscsNetworkState?

This read-only value reports the current state of a cluster network: unknown, unavailable, down, partitioned (some but not all interfaces reachable), or up. An admin monitors this to catch a partitioned heartbeat network early, since it can indicate a split-brain risk before a full outage occurs.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.31.5.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> INFORMANT-MSCS::mscsNetworkState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.31.5.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> INFORMANT-MSCS::mscsNetworkState.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> mscsNetworkState.1
