wwpContainmentBroadcastState

Module: WWP-CONTAINMENT-MIB

OID (symbolic): WWP-CONTAINMENT-MIB::wwpContainmentBroadcastState

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.55.1.1.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: This value indicates the present state of the broadcast containment mechanism within the device.

idle(1) - The broadcast containment is presently disengaged.

starting(2) - The broadcast containment mechanism has determined that the conditions warrant the engagement of the broadcast containment mechanism. This is a momentary state which may exist during the transition from the idle state to the engaged state.

engaged(3) - The broadcast containment mechanism is currently engaged. The action defined by wwpContainmentBroadcastAction is presently in effect.

stopping(4) - The broadcast containment mechanism has determined that the conditions warrant the disengagement of the broadcast containment mechanism. This is a momentary state which may exist during the transition from the engaged state to the idle state.

What is wwpContainmentBroadcastState?

This read-only enumerated value reports the broadcast containment mechanism's current state on this port: idle(1) disengaged, starting(2) a momentary transition state, engaged(3) actively applying wwpContainmentBroadcastAction, or stopping(4) transitioning back to idle. Admins poll this to see in real time whether a port is currently under active broadcast storm containment. For example, seeing engaged(3) on a port confirms the configured action (such as throttle) is presently being applied due to a broadcast storm.
