7-2 ATX MIB Reference Guide
rptrOperStatus {rptrRptrInfo 2}
Integer Read-Only
The rptrOperStatus object indicates the operational state of the repeater. The
rptrHealthText object may be consulted for more specific information about the
state of the repeater’s health. In the case of multiple kinds of failures (e.g.,
repeater failure and port failure), the value of this attribute shall reflect the
highest priority failure in the following order rptrFailure (3), groupFailure (4),
portFailure (5), generalFailure (6).
The unit returns either ok (1) or portFailure (5).
rptrHealthText {rptrRptrInfo 3}
Octet String Read-Only
The health text object is a text string that provides information relevant to the
operational state of the repeater. Agents may use this string to provide detailed
information on current failures, including how they were detected, and/or
instruction for problem resolution.
The unit always returns a zero-length string.
rptrReset {rptrRptrInfo 4}
Integer Read-Write
Setting this object to reset (2) causes a transition to the START state. Setting this
object to noReset (1) has no effect. The agent will always return the value
noReset (1) when this object is read. This action does not reset the management
counters defined in this document nor does it affect the portAdminStatus
parameters. Included in this action is the execution of a disruptive Self-Test with
the following characteristics a) The nature of the tests is not specified. b) The test
resets the repeater but without affecting management information about the
repeater. c) The test does not inject packets onto any segment. d) Packets received
during the test may or may not be transferred. e) The test does not interfere with
management functions. As a result of this action a rptrResetEvent trap should be
sent.
The unit provides no mechanism for implementing any reset of the concentrator
other than power-up. Setting this object to reset (2), will result in a genErr
response.
