ENTITY-STATE-MIB provides information about the state
of physical components beyond what
ENTITY-MIB defines,
including the administrative and operational state of components
in chassis-based platforms. Use this MIB in tandem with the ENTITY-MIB
to monitor the operational state of the components of a PA-7000
Series or PA-5450 firewall (for example, line cards, fan trays,
and power supplies). For example, to troubleshoot log forwarding
issues for Threat logs, you can map the log processing card (LPC)
indexes from the ENTITY-MIB (entPhysicalDescr object) to operational
state values (entStateOper object) in the ENTITY-STATE-MIB. The
operational state values use numbers to indicate state: 1 for unknown,
2 for disabled, 3 for enabled, and 4 for testing. The PA-7000 Series and
PA-5450 firewall are the only Palo Alto Networks firewalls that
support this MIB.
