Fast Link Operational Status — Indicates if Fast Link is enabled or disabled for the port or LAG. If Fast Link is enabled for an interface, the interface is automatically placed in the forwarding state. The possible field values are:

Enable — Fast Link is enabled.

Disable — Fast Link is disabled.

Auto — Fast Link mode is enabled a few seconds after the interface becomes active.

Point-to-Point Admin Status — Indicates if a point-to-point links is established, or permits the device to establish a point-to-point link. The possible field values are:

Enable — Enables the device to establish a point-to-point link, or specifies for the device to automatically establish a point-to-point link. To establish communications over a point-to-point link, the originating PPP first sends Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets to configure and test the data link. After a link is established and optional facilities are negotiated as needed by the LCP, the originating PPP sends Network Control Protocols (NCP) packets to select and configure one or more network layer protocols. When each of the chosen network layer protocols has been configured, packets from each network layer protocol can be sent over the link. The link remains configured for communications until explicit LCP or NCP packets close the link, or until some external event occurs. This is the actual switch port link type. It may differ from the administrative state.

Disable — Disables point-to-point link.

Auto — The device automatically establishes a point-to-point link.

Point-to-Point Operational Status — The Point-to-Point operating state.

Activate Protocol Migrational — Enables PPP sending Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets to configure and test the data link. The possible field values are:

Checked — Protocol Migration is enabled.

Unchecked — Protocol Migration is disabled.
