Table 10 describes the Interface tab items.
Table 10 Interface tab items
Item | Description | |
|
| |
Index | Unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges between | |
| 16 and 255. | |
|
| |
Name | Displays the name of this port. To assign or change a name to the port, | |
| highlight the field and enter alphanumeric characters. | |
|
| |
Descr | Type of interface, either: | |
| • | |
| • | |
|
| |
Type | Media type of this interface. This will be ppp for a port on the Passport | |
| 8683POS Module. | |
|
| |
Mru | Size (in octets) of the largest packet that can be sent or received on | |
| the interface. For IPCP and IPXCP, the maximum is 1936. When BCP | |
| is enabled, however, the maximum is 1934. Check which NCP is | |
| enabled before configuring the Mru on a connecting device. | |
| Note: The Bridge Control Protocol (BCP) is enabled on the Passport | |
| 8683POS Module by default. | |
|
| |
PhysAddress | MAC address assigned to a particular interface. | |
|
| |
VendorDescr | Vendor description. | |
|
| |
AdminStatus | Sets the port to one of the following states: | |
| • | up |
| • | down |
| • | testing |
| When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with | |
| AdminStatus in the down state. As a result of either management or | |
| configuration action, the AdminStatus is changed to the up state (or | |
| remains in the down state). The testing state indicates that no | |
| operational packets can be passed. | |
|
| |
OperStatus | Operational state of the interface, one of the following: | |
| • | up |
| • | down |
| • | testing |
| The testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. | |
| If AdminStatus is down, then OperStatus should be down. | |
| If AdminStatus is changed to up, then OperStatus should change to | |
| up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic. | |
| It should remain in the down state if and only if there is a fault that | |
| prevents it from going to the up state. | |
