psAlarmStandbyStatus
Module: PACKETEER-MIB
OID (symbolic): PACKETEER-MIB::psAlarmStandbyStatus
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2334.2.1.5.20
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: Status of the standby feature. A status of not-configured(1) means that standby is not configured for this PacketShaper. active(2) means hot standby is processing traffic according to its shaping mode. passive(3) means hot standby is not processing traffic but is monitoring the active partner of the paired PacketShapers. down(4) means hot standby has declared itself ineligible for active mode due to a self-detected fault. direct(5) means standby direct is processing and copying traffic to its partner. disconnected(6) means standby direct is non-functional since it cannot reach its partner. leak(7) means the Packetshaper has detected a loop in the network and so has disabled the stanby direct functionality and is only processing traffic flowing through it. disable(8) means that the standby direct feature has been disabled and is non-functional.
What is psAlarmStandbyStatus?
Reports the current state of the hot-standby feature: not-configured, active, passive, down, direct, disconnected, leak, or disable, each with a distinct operational meaning (e.g. leak(7) means PacketShaper detected a network loop and disabled standby-direct forwarding to avoid making it worse). An admin in a redundant PacketShaper pair checks this to confirm which unit is actually active versus passive and whether standby is functioning at all.
