Table 138
Interface tab fields for a single port
Field
Description
Index
A unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges
between 1 and 512.
Name
Specifies a name for the port.
Descr
The description of the selected port.
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 device, which can be one of
the following:
•
up
•
down
When a managed system is initialized, all interfaces start with
AdminStatus in the up state. AdminStatus changes to the down state
(or remains in the up 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.
LinkTrap
Specifies whether linkUp/linkDown traps should be generated for
this interface.
AutoNegotiate
Indicates whether this port is enabled for autonegotiation or not.
AdminDuplex
The current administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full).
