Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FabricMIB

OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FabricMIB::mscShelfCardFabricPortCardsAvailable

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.13.2.5.11.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: This attribute indicates the slot numbers of the cards that the fabric port considers available through the fabric; that is, the cards that have an operational port connected to the fabric. The value of this attribute is determined automatically by the fabric port by monitoring signals generated by each fabric port connected to the fabric card. Normally, every card in the module signals its availability on both fabrics. If a card does not signal its availability on a fabric, then the card is not present or its fabric port has failed. By examining this attribute for both of a card's FabricPort components, it is possible to determine which cards are present in the module and which fabric each can use.

Note: If failuresInEffect has a value of selfTest, signalLoss, synchronizationLoss, or protocolError, the fabric port is unable to monitor the availability of the fabric ports on the fabric. In such cases, cardsAvailable indicates that no fabric port is available on the fabric.

Description of bits: n0(0) n1(1) n2(2) n3(3) n4(4) n5(5) n6(6) n7(7) n8(8) n9(9) n10(10) n11(11) n12(12) n13(13) n14(14) n15(15)

What is mscShelfCardFabricPortCardsAvailable?

A bitmask of slot numbers indicating which cards this fabric port currently sees as reachable through its fabric, determined automatically by monitoring signals from each card's fabric port. Comparing this bitmask across both of a card's fabric ports shows which fabric(s) each other card in the shelf can actually be reached through.
