ZESA MIB Objects
zesaSwitchToBackupNow
1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.217.14
 read-write
 INTEGER 
Causes the Ethernet 
Subagent backup 
process to take over 
and a new backup 
process to be created.
One of these values:
autoProcessPairControl (0)
forceBackupTakeover (1)
At startup, the subagent sets this 
value to 0, but it can be changed by 
an SNMP manager if the Ethernet 
Subagent was started using the
 -b startup parameter.
Setting this object to 1 causes the 
Ethernet Subagent backup process to 
take over and a new backup process 
to be created.
Setting this object is permitted only if 
zesaBackupState is connected (1).
zesaEmsCollectorName
1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.217.15
 read-write
 DisplayString
 (SIZE (0..15))
The name of the EMS 
collector process to 
which the Ethernet 
Subagent sends events 
it generates.
\node.$ems-collector specified 
for the -c startup parameter. After 
startup, the value can be set by an 
SNMP manager.
Setting this object is permitted only if 
zesaEmsCollectorState is disabled 
(3).
zesaEmsCollectorState
1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.217.16
 read-write
 INTEGER
The state of the 
connection between the 
Ethernet Subagent and 
the EMS collector.
Following are valid values for the 
state of the connection:
connected (1)
disconnected (2)
disabled (3)
enabled (4)
The connected and disconnected 
states are set internally.
The disabled and enabled states are 
set with an SNMP request as 
illustrated by the state change 
diagram in Figure 14-2
 on 
page 14-18.
zesaKeepAliveTimer
1.3.6.1.4.1.169.3.217.17
 read-write
 INTEGER (0..32000)
The number of seconds 
between attempts the 
subagent makes to 
connect to a lost 
resource or to restart 
the backup process.
A value in the range 0 to 32000 
specified for the -k startup parameter. 
After startup, the value can be set by 
an SNMP manager.
The default is 60 seconds.
