mscLpImaFailureCause

Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ImaMIB

OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-ImaMIB::mscLpImaFailureCause

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.12.22.11.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: This attribute indicates the cause of the current local end failure experienced by the IMA group. The failure may have occurred during a start-up procedure or during normal operation. Possible values are: noFailure: no local end failure. noGoodLinksInStartup: no good links were available during IMA start-up. badGidInStartup: during start-up, different group identifiers (GIDs) were received on the links. badLidInStartup: during start-up, duplicate link identifiers (LIDs) were received on the links. unsupportedFrameLengthInStartup: during start-up, an unsupported frame length was received. timeoutInStartup: a time-out has occurred during start-up. noGoodLinks: no good links are available in the IMA group. remoteFailure: the far end is down. unsupportedSymmetryInStartup: the symmetry proposed by the far end is not supported on the near-end. This value will occur when the IMA group is running the ATM Forum protocol and the far end is proposing a group symmetry other than 'symmetric configuration and operation'.

What is mscLpImaFailureCause?

This reports why this IMA group's local end is currently down, distinguishing several start-up failures (no good links, mismatched group/link identifiers, unsupported frame length, a start-up timeout, unsupported symmetry) from noGoodLinks (no usable links at all) or remoteFailure (far end is down). An admin reads this value first when an IMA group won't come up, since it points directly at whether the problem is a local link/config issue or that the remote end itself is down.
