Item Description
Interface Identifies the port or LAG.
Interface Index The interface index object value assigned by the IF-MIB. This value is
used to identify the interface when managing the device by using
SNMP.
Type The interface type, which is one of the following:

Normal: The port is a normal port, which means it is not a LAG
member or configured for port mirroring.

Trunk Member: The port is a member of a LAG.

Mirrored: The port is configured to mirror its traffic (ingress,
egress, or both) to another port (the probe port).

Probe: The port is configured to receive mirrored traffic from one
or more source ports.
Admin Mode The administrative mode of the interface. If a port or LAG is adminis-
tratively disabled, it cannot forward traffic.
Physical Mode The port speed and duplex mode. If the mode is Auto, the port's max-
imum capability are advertised, and the duplex mode and speed are
set from the auto-negotiation process. The physical mode for a LAG is
reported as “LAG”.
Physical Status Indicates the port speed and duplex mode for physical interfaces. The
physical status for LAGs is not reported. When a port is down, the
physical status is unknown.
STP Mode The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Administrative Mode associated
with the port or LAG. STP is a layer 2 protocol that provides a tree
topology for switches on a bridged LAN. STP allows a network to have
redundant paths without the risk of network loops. by providing a sin-
gle path between end stations on a network. The possible values for
STP mode are:

Enable: Spanning tree is enabled for this port.

Disable: Spanning tree is disabled for this port.
