Description (ifDesc)

Describes the interface (for example, the product name, manufacturer, and hardware version).


Type (ifType)

Specifies the network interface type defined in the MIB-II interface table.

For example, the interface type ethernet-csmacd indicates the CSMA/CD Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) protocol, as defined by Digital, Intel, and Xerox ("DIX"). Refer to an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) reference book for a full list of the interface table types.


Mtu (ifMtu)

Specifies the size (in octets) of the largest protocol data unit that can be sent or received on the interface.


Speed (ifSpeed)

Provides an estimate of current bandwidth in bits per second. If the value is constant or cannot be measured, nominal bandwidth is used.


Physical Address (ifPhysAddress)

Displays a physical address, such as an Ethernet MAC address, a phone number, or a Packet Data Net address. Where not relevant, a 0-length octet string is provided.


Admin Status (ifAdminStatus)

Specifies the desired interface state. Possible settings are up, down, or testing.


Operational Status (ifOperStatus)

Indicates the current actual operating state of the interface.


Last Change (ifLastChange)

Specifies (in hundredths of seconds) the value of the sysUpTime setting when the interface entered its current operational state. 0 is displayed if the current state was entered before last initialization of management entity.
