1.3.6.1.2.1.10.134.2.2.1.1.1
This variable indicates the current status at the far end of the path using a bit map that can indicate multiple defects at once. The bit positions are assigned as follows: etherWisFarEndPayloadDefect(0) A far end payload defect (i.e., far end PLM-P or LCD-P) is currently being signaled in G1 bits 5-7. etherWisFarEndServerDefect(1) A far end server defect (i.e., far end LOP-P or AIS-P) is currently being signaled in G1 bits 5-7. Note: when this bit is set, sonetPathSTSRDI MUST be set in the corresponding instance of sonetPathCurrentStatus.
