Use the Interface tab of the Port dialog box to view and edit interface settings for the selected port.
The following table describes the parts of the Interface tab.
Index
Shows the unique index value assigned to each interface. The value ranges between 12 and 255.
Name
Lets you enter a name for the port. You can use any combination of numbers, upper- and lower-case letters, and punctuation characters. The name can be up to 64 characters long.
Descr
Shows the type of module and number of ports.
Type
Shows the media type of this interface.
Mtu
Shows the size of the largest packet, in octets, that can be sent or received on the interface.
PhysAddress
Shows the MAC address assigned to a particular interface.
AdminStatus
Lets you set the administrative state of the interface. The state can be one of the following:
You can only set the state to enabled when:
When a managed system is initialized, all interfaces start with AdminStatus in the down state. AdminStatus changes to the up state (or remains in the down state) as a result of either management action or the configuration information available to the managed system.
OperStatus
Shows the current operational state of the interface, which can be one of the following:
If AdminStatus is up, then OperStatus should be up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic. If AdminStatus is down, then OperStatus should be down. It should remain in the down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up state. The testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed.
LastChange
Shows the value of sysUpTime at the time the interface entered its current operational state. If the current state was entered prior to the last reinitialization of the local network management subsystem, the value is zero.
Speed
Shows the interface's current bandwidth in bits per second.
AutoNegotiate
Indicates whether this port is enabled for autonegotiation or not.
AdminDuplex
Shows the current administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full).
OperDuplex
Shows the current duplex value of the port.
AdminSpeed
Sets the administrative speed setting for this port.
OperSpeed
Shows the current operating speed of the port.
