Changing this field to “hwActive” or “hwStandby”, creates a hardware-
redundant pair. Changing this field to “swActive” or “swStandby”, creates a
software-redundant pair.
Operational Status
Displays the redundancy status of the port. Table 2-5 lists possible values and
their descriptions:
Either a “localFault” or “remoteFault” condition causes a redundant port pair
to switchover. If the port does not belong to a redundant pair, a value of
“other” is displayed.
If the redundant link consists of ports without remote fault capability, the
value “remoteFault” is not reported and the value “localFault” implies that
the link is off.
Faults
Displays the number of local or remote faults on this port. This counter
increments whenever there is a transition between a fault and no-fault state.
Companion Module
Identifies the slot in the hub containing the board having the other port in the
redundant pair. If this port is hardware-redundant capable, this field displays
the slot number of the potential redundant companion even if it is in
hwStandby If the previous value was “hwActive”, this value causes the
port to become the standby port in the hardware-redundant
pair, resulting in a switchover.
swActive If the previous value was “swStandby”, this value causes
the port to become the active port in the software-
redundant pair, resulting in a switchover.
swStandy If the previous value was “swActive”, this value causes the
port to become the standby port in the hardware-redundant
pair, resulting in a switchover.
