This object indicates whether this switch link is
enabled ('active') or disabled ('redundant') due to
one of the following:
- There are more links to this switch than there
are repeater segments.
- The agent detected a switching loop.
- The link is intended as a backup connection for
other links on this switch.
There can only be one active link to the switch from
each repeater segment, otherwise you will have a
switching loop. Therefore, if more than one switch
link is connected to repeater ports on the same
repeater segment, only one of them may have the value
'active'. All of the others must have the value
'redundant.
