Interface tab items

The following table describes the Interface tab items for a single port.


Field Description
Index
A unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges between 12 and 255.
Name
Lets you enter a name for the port.
Descr
The type of switch and number of ports.
Type
The media type of this interface.
Mtu
The size of the largest packet, in octets, that can be sent or received on the interface.
PhysAddress
The MAC address assigned to a particular interface.
AdminStatus
The 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
The 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
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
The current speed of the port.
AutoNegotiate
Indicates whether this port is enabled for autonegotiation or not.
AdminDuplex
Sets the administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full).
OperDuplex
Shows the current administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full).
AdminSpeed

OperSpeed
