The OID I am polling at the moment is cefcModuleOperStatus 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.117.1.2.1.1.2. When I poll a Nexus 7k switch I am getting a result: 2,2. I am guessing this means OK and OK. The thing is I don't know what other outputs there are for this OID and what there values might mean. I am guessing I'm correct in assuming that the values 2,2 mean OK, OK because I logged on to the switch and saw that both power modules were in OK state
Why are OID's so opaque?! I can't find any decent documentation which gives a full thorough explanation of what each non intuitively named OID might mean and how to interpret the results. So frustrating!
Anyway does anybody know if this is indeed the correct OID to poll? and if so are you aware of the possible out puts and what the nemerical values returned might translate to eg. 0 = absent, 1 = failed, 2 = OK?

Entering your OID gives the following, so indeed 2 = OK :
