Resolution
You can check if the port is set to ErrDisable by using the CISCO-STACK-MIB. Refer to the object information, as shown:
portAdditionalOperStatus OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OCTET STRING(SIZE(1..2))
-- BITS are:
-- other(0)
-- connected(1)
-- standby(2)
-- faulty(3)
-- notConnected(4)
-- inactive(5)
-- shutdown(6)
-- dripDis(7)
-- disabled(8)
-- monitor(9)
-- errdisable(10)
-- linkFaulty(11)
-- onHook(12)
-- offHook(13)
-- reflector(14)
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION:The current operational status of the port which
is showing additional detailed information of the port.
::= { portEntry 23 }
The Object Identifier (OID) for this is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.23.
When you do an Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)Walk for this OID, you receive output like this:
.iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.23.11.1 = Hex: 40 00
.iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.23.11.2 = Hex: 08 00
You must convert hex into binary and determine which bit is set as shown:
- 40 00 (01000000 00000000). Bit one is set, which indicates the port is connected
- 08 00 (00001000 00000000). Bit four is set, which means the port is not connected.
To determine if the port has a status of errDisable, check if bit 10 is set to
1
00000000 00100000
After checking the bit set, match it with the definition to see what that set bit means.
For example, the output in this example shows that the port is set to ErrDisable.
#snmpget foo.cisco.com 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.23.3
enterprises.9.5.1.4.1.1.23.3 : BITS : 0020(Hex)
