Object desired states and commands
An object’s desired state is the state of the object according to how you scheduled the object, or its desired state can be the result of a command that you issued against the object.
You can issue commands (such as start, stop, reset) against an object to change the desired state either through the CSM dialogs or with the EXEC CSMACT.
Use this table to figure out how an object arrived at its desired state:
- The first column lists possible desired states.
- The second column provides a brief description of the desired state.
- The third column shows what command was issued against the object.
- The fourth column shows the original state of the object before the command was issued against the object.
For example, from the first row of the table, you can see that if you execute any of following the commands in the table against an object that is scheduled to be UP the resulting desired state of the object would be UP:
- bounce
- reset
- resetc
- up
