Interface tab fields for a single port

Field	Description
Index	A unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges
	between 1 and 512.
Name	Specifies a name for the port.
Descr	The description of the selected port.
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 device, which can be one of
	the following:
	•	up
	•	down
	When a managed system is initialized, all interfaces start with
	AdminStatus in the up state. AdminStatus changes to the down state
	(or remains in the up 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.
LinkTrap	Specifies whether linkUp/linkDown traps should be generated for
	this interface.
AutoNegotiate	Indicates whether this port is enabled for autonegotiation or not.
AdminDuplex	The current administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full).
