snetSwitchHWStatus

Module: SnetSwitch-MIB

OID (symbolic): SnetSwitch-MIB::snetSwitchHWStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.169.8.3.2.5.1.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The Hardware Status for the Switch Hardware Status OK(1), SRAM Memory test failed(2), Flash sector test failed(3), Bad SEEPROM checksum(4), SBUSY error(5), FLASH program error(6), Switch cannot be reached. Hardware status is unknown.(7), Other Hardware Error, such as fan failure may be indicated.(8)

What is snetSwitchHWStatus?

This read-only value reports the hardware status of the switch, ranging from noError(1) through specific fault codes like errSramFail(2), errFlashSector(3), errSeepromCheckSum(4), or errOtherHWError(8), with errUnknownHWStatus(7) meaning the switch is unreachable. Admins use it to pinpoint the specific hardware subsystem (memory, flash, EEPROM) responsible for a fault rather than treating all hardware problems the same. A value other than noError indicates a hardware issue that likely warrants replacing or servicing the switch.

Examples
