Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
When discovering the Cisco CRS router, the SPA cards that are discovered does not have a status.
The cefcModuleOperStatus isn't discovering the card status.
When discovering the Cisco CRS router, the SPA cards that are discovered does not have a status.
The cefcModuleOperStatus isn't discovering the card status.
Environment
VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS
Cause
The CISCO-ENTITY-FRU-CONTROL-MIB is used to monitor and configure operational status of Field Replaceable Units (FRUs).
It appears (with Cisco confirmation) the SPA modules are fixed SPA and are NOT recognized as FRU s.
If these SPA modules are not FRU s then, Cisco cannot get cefcModuleOperStatus information for these SPA entities through SNMPWalk.
It is an expected behavior.
A walk of the entPhysicalDescr displays the following:

Resolution
To resolve the issue the customer needs to enabled ciscoEntityFRUControlMIB on the Cisco device. The cefcModuleOperStatus can only monitor FRU entities.
