Indicates the test status of
the interface.
Set to inUse(2) by an SNMP
Manager before a test is started.
Set to notInUse(1) by the unit when
the test has completed. Also set to
notInUse(1) by the unit if the SNMP
Manager fails to set an ifTestType
within 5 minutes.
ifTestType
(ifTestEntry 3)
A control variable used to
start/stop user-initiated
tests on the interface.
Provides the following
capabilities:
Start/stop user data port
loopback
Start/stop send pattern
on the user data port
Start/stop the monitor
test pattern on the user
data port
The following objects use identifiers to
control tests on the User Data port
interface:
noTest (0 0) – Stops the test in
progress on the interface.
testLoopDTE (ifTestType 2) – Starts
a Local Loopback (DTE) on the
interface.
testMon511 (ifTestType4) – Starts a
Monitor 511 test on the interface.
testSend511 (ifTestType6) – Starts a

ifTestCode
(ifTestEntry 5)
Contains a code which is
more specific about the test
results.
Supports the following values:
none (ifTestCode 1) – No further
information is available. Used for
send pattern/code and loopback tests.
inSyncNoBitErrors (ifTestCode 2) –
A 511 monitor pattern test has
synchronized on the pattern and has
not detected any bit errors.
inSyncWithBitErrors
(ifTestCode 3) – A 511 monitor pattern
test has synchronized on the pattern
and has detected bit errors.
notInSync (ifTestCode 4) – A 511
monitor test pattern has not
synchronized on the requested
pattern.
