ID -- the port ID number to use for SNMP MIB access

Type -- the network technology type of the port

Media -- the type of network media connected to the port

Enabled -- whether the port is enabled (Yes or No)

Status -- the operational status of the port (Up -- operating correctly, or Down -- not operating correctly)

Mode -- the port’s operating mode

Use the Help action item on this screen to see a list of possible values for each of these items, and definitions of those values.
