The Interface Configuration view provides the following information:

Operation Status

Displays the status of the module. Possible values are operational, notoperational and unknown.

Admin. Status

Provides a menu button to set the Administrative status of the port. Once disabled, a port must be explicitly enabled to restore operation. A port that is already disabled when power is lost or when a reset is exerted will remain disabled when normal operation resumes. Possible values are On, Off, and Testing.

Last Change

Displays the system uptime at which the interface entered its current operational state. A value of zero indicates that the status has not changed since the agent was last restarted.

Network Name/Address

Displays the network name and the address at which it appears.

Physical Address

Displays the physical (MAC) address of the interface or port.

Bandwidth

Displays the interface bandwidth in bits per second. For interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth or for which no accurate estimate can be made, this will be the nominal bandwidth.

Packet Size

Displays the largest Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) that can be transmitted or recieved by the port, measured in octets.

Queue Length
