Interface tab fields for multiple ports

Field	Description
Index	A unique value assigned to each interface. The value
	ranges between 1 and 512.
Port	Port Id in unit and port format.
Name	Lets you enter a character string to name the port
Descr	Type of switch and number of ports.
Type	Media type for this interface.
Mtu	Size of the largest packet, in octets, that can be sent or
	received on the interface.
PhysAddress	MAC address assigned to a particular interface.
AdminStatus	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	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	Value of 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
