Property Value Description
Status read-only Reports the condition of the entity or process at last polling.

{ok} indicates that the entity is licensed and polling successfully.

{down} indicates that the last poll was unsuccessful, perhaps because of an incorrect property.

{disabled} indicates that the Enable property is set to false.

{fault} indicates another problem.

Depending on conditions, multiple status flags may be set including {fault} and {disabled}, combined with {down}, {alarm}, {stale}, and {unackedAlarm}.

Enabled true or false Turns the feature on (true) and off (false).
Fault Cause read-only Reports the reason why a network, component, or extension is in fault. Fault Cause is blank unless a fault exists.
Health read-only Reports the status of the network or component. This advisory information, including a time stamp, can help you recognize and troubleshoot network problems but it provides no direct network management controls.
