965.0. "MIB variables for port repeater state" by WELLIN::MCCALLUM () Fri May 06 1994 11:33

    
    HUBwatch has a display for a repeater port which
    includes a status of offline or online. Also the Hubwatch
    terminal window shows a port to be disconnected or online.
    
    I want to show these things from DECmcc, I have looked through the
    MIBs, the erptr mib and the rfc1516 mib, they include the admin status
    and the partitoion state but not a disconnected(offline) or online
    state.
    
    How does HUBwatch determine this state ?
     Is there a bit of the MIB I have missed ?
    
    Thanks for any help,

    HUBwatch calulates the repeater port led states from the following
    objects:
    
    rptrPortOperStatus
    rptrPortAutoPartitionState
    erptrMauMediaAvailable
    
    Basically, the algorithm emulates what the repeater firmware does
    to calulate the port led state:
    
    If oper status is not operational then the port is disabled (blinking)
    else
    	if the media is not available or the port is autopartioned then
        the port is offline (off)
        else
    	   the port is online (green)
