ibSmaSwPortStateChange

Module: SMA-MIB

OID (symbolic): SMA-MIB::ibSmaSwPortStateChange

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.117.3.1.2.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: This object is set to 1 whenever the PortState component makes any of the following state changes in the link FSM:

Down-->Initialize, Initialize-->Down, Armed-->Down, or Active-->Down

Also, changes in PortState resulting from SubnSet IBA command do not change this bit. This object is set to 0 when the SMA writes a 1; writing a 0 is ignored.

What is ibSmaSwPortStateChange?

A latching flag that this switch sets to 1 whenever one of its ports transitions to the Down state (from Initialize, Armed, or Active); a management station clears it back to 0 after noting the transition, since writing 0 is the only way to reset it.

Examples
