lpImaFailureCause
lp Ima Failure Cause
This attribute indicates the cause of the current local end failure experienced by the IMA group. The failure may have occurred during a start-up procedure or during normal operation. Possible values are: noFailure: no local end failure. noGoodLinksInStartup: no good links were available during IMA start-up. badGidInStartup: during start-up, different group identifiers (GIDs) were received on the links. badLidInStartup: during start-up, duplicate link identifiers (LIDs) were received on the links. unsupportedFrameLengthInStartup: during start-up, an unsupported frame length was received. timeoutInStartup: a time-out has occurred during start-up. noGoodLinks: no good links are available in the IMA group. remoteFailure: the far end is down. unsupportedSymmetryInStartup: the symmetry proposed by the far end is not supported on the near-end. This value will occur when the IMA group is running the ATM Forum protocol and the far end is proposing a group symmetry other than 'symmetric configuration and operation'.
