s5EnRedPortFaults

Module: S5-ETH-REDUNDANT-LINKS-MIB

OID (symbolic): S5-ETH-REDUNDANT-LINKS-MIB::s5EnRedPortFaults

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.6.1.2.1.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: A count of local or remote faults on this port. This counter increments on a transition between the fault and no-fault states.

What is s5EnRedPortFaults?

This Counter32 tracks how many times this port has transitioned between fault and no-fault states, incrementing on each such transition rather than on individual fault events. An admin polls this counter over time to gauge link stability on a redundant pair, since a rapidly climbing count signals a flapping or marginal connection worth investigating even if s5EnRedPortOperStatus currently shows ok. For example, a count that jumps by 40 in an hour would point to an unstable fiber connection on that port.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.6.1.2.1.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> S5-ETH-REDUNDANT-LINKS-MIB::s5EnRedPortFaults

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.6.1.2.1.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> S5-ETH-REDUNDANT-LINKS-MIB::s5EnRedPortFaults.1

Start monitoring Nortel/Avaya BayStack switches with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the S5-ETH-REDUNDANT-LINKS-MIB::s5EnRedPortFaults OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Nortel/Avaya BayStack switches from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Nortel/Avaya BayStack switch as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type s5EnRedPortFaults into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports a count of local or remote faults on this port. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
