Interface Administration

Data for this window is extracted from the Interface Group
in MIB II (RFC 1213). Each MAC frame type supported by a
physical network interface is listed as a unique logical
network interface in the display window. (Refer to ifType in
RFC 1156.) For example, even though there may only by one
physical network interface on a monitored device, it may
concurrently support both ethernet-csmacd and
iso88023-csmacd. Also note that the same type may be
reported more than once where a logical interface includes
several valid subtypes. For example, ethernet-802.2 and
ethernet-II both fall under ethernet-csmacd.

Table 6-4 Field Description for Interface Admin Window

Description
A unique index for each subnetwork connection.
A textual description of the interface, which may include items such as the product name,
manufacturer, or version number for the hardware interface.
The interface type based on the physical/link protocols running immediately below the network
layer, e.g. ethernet-csmacd (where csmacd indicates Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision
Detection).
The interface address used at the protocol layer immediately below the network layer. This value
will be zero for interface types that do not support such an address.
This window provides a description and status information
on each subnetwork connected to this system.
