aPethPsePortDetectionStatus

Module: POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB

OID (symbolic): POWER-ETHERNET-OLD-MIB::aPethPsePortDetectionStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.20.1.1.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Describes the operational status of the port PD detection. A value of disabled(1)- indicates that the PSE State diagram is in the state IDLE A value of searching(2)- indicates that the PSE State diagram is in the state DETECTION, CLASSIFICATION, SIGNATURE_INVALID or BACKOFF. A value of deliveringPower(4) - indicates that the PSE State diagram is in the state POWER_UP, POWER_ON or POWER_OFF. A value of fault(5) - indicates that the PSE State diagram is in the state TEST_ERROR or the state IDLE due to the variable error condition. Faults detected are vendor specific. A value of test(7) - indicates that the PSE State diagram is in the state TEST_MODE. A value of denyLowPriority(8) indicates that the port was disabled by the power management system, in order to keep active higher priority ports.

What is aPethPsePortDetectionStatus?

A read-only enumeration of the port's PD-detection state machine: disabled, searching, deliveringPower, fault, test, or denyLowPriority (disabled by the power budget manager to protect higher-priority ports). Admins poll this as the primary field to see whether a PoE port is actually powering its connected device or stuck in a fault/searching state.
