Table 28 Interface tab items for a single port

Field	Description
Index	A unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges
	between 1..24.
Descr	The type of switch and number of ports.
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 interface, which can be one of
	the following:
	•	up
	•	down
	When a managed system is initialized, all interfaces start with
	AdminStatus in the down state. AdminStatus changes to the up state
	(or remains in the down state) as a result of 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.
Speed	Current speed.
AutoNegotiate	Indicates whether this port is enabled for autonegotiation or not.
AdminDuplex	The administrative duplex mode of the port (full).
AdminSpeed	Set the port’s speed.
OperSpeed	The current operating speed of the port.
