Traps & MIBs
Interfaces Group (RFC 1573)
The evolution of the Interfaces Group of MIB II (RFC 1573 converted to
SNMP v1) consists of an object indicating the number of interfaces supported by the DSL router and an interface table containing an entry for each interface. Refer to Table
The Interface Stack Group table does not apply, but is required for MIB compliance. One row will be displayed with ifStackHigherLayer=0 and ifStackLowerLayer=0. The ifStackStatus=2 (enumerated value for notInService) and is

ifSpeed (ifEntry 5)
Provides the interface's current bandwidth in bits per second (bps).
HDSL interface ± The downstream rate of the DSL interface once trained, or zero if not trained.
HEthernet interface ± 10240000 bps (for 10 MB operation) or 102400000 (for 100 MB operation).
ifPhysAddress | Identifies the physical | H DSL interface ± The MAC address when operating in 1483 | |

|
|
|
ifAdminStatus | Supported as | H | up(1) ± Always displays as up. |
