s5EnRedPortRedundMode

Module: S5-ETH-REDUNDANT-LINKS-MIB

OID (symbolic): S5-ETH-REDUNDANT-LINKS-MIB::s5EnRedPortRedundMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.6.1.2.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The redundancy mode of the port.

The values when written change the redundancy mode, and when read report the redundancy mode: standalone(1)..the port is not in any redundant pair. hwActive(2)....the port is the active companion in a hardware-redundant pair. hwStandby(3)...the port is the standby companion in a hardware-redundant pair. swActive(4)....the port is the active companion in a software-redundant pair. swStandby(5)...the port is the standby companion in a software-redundant pair.

The values that can be written, which change the redundancy mode, are: standalone(1)...causes the redundant pair to be broken up. hwActive(2).....if the previous value was hwStandby(3), this value will cause the port to become the active port in the hardware-redundant pair, resulting in a switchover. hwStandby(3)....if the previous value was hwActive(2), this value will cause the port to become the standby port in the hardware-redundant pair, resulting in a switchover. swActive(4).....if the previous value was swStandby(5), this value will cause the port to become the active port in the software-redundant pair, resulting in a switchover. swStandby(5)....if the previous value was swActive(4), this value will cause the port to become the standby port in the software-redundant pair, resulting in a switchover.

To create a hardware-redundant pair, change this object to hwActive(2) or hwStandby(3). To create a software-redundant pair, change this object to swActive(4) or swStandby(5). The same SNMP SET PDU must also write to objects s5EnRedPortCompanionBrdNum and s5EnRedPortCompanionPortNum.

What is s5EnRedPortRedundMode?

This read-write object both reports and controls a port's role in a redundant pair: standAlone means it's not in any pair, while hwActive/hwStandby and swActive/swStandby indicate active or standby roles in a hardware- or software-redundant pair respectively. An admin forces a manual switchover by writing hwActive to a port currently in hwStandby, which flips the pair's active member, or writes standAlone to break the pairing entirely. When creating a pair by writing swActive or swStandby, the same SNMP SET must also include s5EnRedPortCompanionBrdNum and s5EnRedPortCompanionPortNum.
