Variable definitions

Use the data in this table to help you understand the interface port display.

Variable Value
Index A unique value assigned to each interface.
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) because 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.
Attention

10/100BASE-TX ports can not autonegotiate correctly with older 10/100BASE-TX equipment. In some cases, the older devices can be upgraded with new firmware or driver revisions. If an upgrade does not allow autonegotiation to correctly identify the link speed and duplex settings, you can manually configure the settings for the link in question.

AdminDuplex The current administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full).
OperDuplex The current mode of the port (half duplex or full duplex).
AdminSpeed Set the port’s speed.
OperSpeed The current operating speed of the port.
AutoNegotiationCapability Specifies the port speed and duplex capabilities that a switch can support on a port, and that can be advertised by the port using auto-negotiation.
AutoNegotiation
Advertisments
Specifies the port speed and duplex abilities to be advertised during link negotiation.
MltId The MultiLink Trunk to which the port is assigned (if any).
IsPortShared Specifies whether a port is shared. Multiple ports that are logically represented as a single port are shared. Only one shared port can be active at a time.
PortActiveComponent Specifies the physical port components that are active for a shared port.
