isisSysLevelState

Module: ISIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): ISIS-MIB::isisSysLevelState

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.138.1.2.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: IsisLevelState

Access: read-only

Description: The state of the database at this level. The value 'off' indicates that IS-IS is not active at this level. The value 'on' indicates that IS-IS is active at this level and is not overloaded. The value 'waiting' indicates a database that is low on an essential resource, such as memory. The administrator may force the state to 'overloaded' by setting the object isisSysLevelSetOverload. If the state is 'waiting' or 'overloaded', we originate LSPs with the overload bit set.

What is isisSysLevelState?

Reports the state of the link-state database at a given level: off (IS-IS inactive), on (active, not overloaded), or waiting (short on a resource like memory). While waiting or manually overloaded, the router advertises the overload bit in its LSPs so other routers route around it.
