This management information module supports 
configuration, control and monitoring of redundancy 
protection for various kinds of components on 
Cisco managed devices. 
        
It is meant to be generic enough to handle basic 
redundancy control and monitoring for many types of 
redundant member components and redundancy architectures
as long as there is an Entity MIB entPhysicalIndex and 
entPhysicalVendorType assigned to each member component.
        
It is designed so that the tables can be augmented in
other extension MIBS which build upon this MIB by 
adding additional objects that may be specific to a 
particular type of redundancy or member component.
        
This MIB can also be used in cases where some types of
redundancy groups and members don't require explicit 
user configuration. One example may be redundant fan
assemblies. In those cases, the managed system should 
internally assign group and member indexes, so that 
it can provide read-only access to the group and member 
tables. This allows MIB monitoring for these types of 
redundant entities.
