Interface tab items


Item Description
Index
A unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges between 1 and 255.
Descr
Type of switch followed by Unit (module) #, port #.
Type
Media type for this interface.
Mtu
Size of the largest packet, in octets, that can be sent or received on the interface.
PhysAddress
MAC address assigned to a particular interface.
AdminStatus
Current administrative state of the interface, which can be one of the following:
  • up
  • down
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
Current operational state of the interface, which can be one of the following:
  • up
  • down
  • testing
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
Value of 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
The estimate bandwidth of the interface in bits per second (bps). For interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth or have no way to estimate the bandwidth, this object should contain the nominal bandwidth. If the bandwidth of the interface is greater than the maximum value reported by the object, then the object displays its maximum value (4,294,967,295). For a sub-layer that has no concept of bandwidth, the object should be zero.
AutoNegotiate
Indicates whether the port is enabled (checked) for autonegotiation or not.
AdminDuplex
The current administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full).
OperDuplex
Indicate current duplex value of the port.
AdminSpeed
Set the speed of a port: none, mbps10, and mbps100 (or mbps 1000)
OperSpeed
The current operating speed of the port.
MltId
The MultiLink Trunk to which the port is assigned (if any).
