Description
Identifies the port or LAG associated with the information in this row of the table.
The interface index object value assigned by the IF-MIB. This value is used to identify the interface
when managing the device using SNMP.
The interface type, which is one of the following:
• Normal The port is a normal port (it is not a LAG member or configured for port mirroring).
• Trunk Member The port is a member of a LAG.
• Mirrored The port is configured as a monitoring port and is the source port in a port mirroring
session. For more information on port monitoring and probe ports, see "Mirroring" on page 69.
• Probe The port is configured as a monitoring port and is the destination port in a port mirroring
session. For more information on port monitoring and probe ports, see "Mirroring" on page 69.
The interface's administrative mode: Enabled (default) or Disabled. If a port or LAG is administratively
disabled, it cannot forward traffic.
If the interface is not a LAG, this field displays the port's configured speed and duplex mode:
• Auto The duplex mode and speed will be set by the auto-negotiation process. The port's
maximum capability (full duplex and 100 Mbps) will be advertised.
• <Speed> Half Duplex The port speeds available from the menu depend on the platform on
which the EdgeSwitch software is running and which port you select. In half-duplex mode, the
transmissions are one-way; that is, the port does not send and receive traffic at the same time.
• <Speed> Full Duplex The port speeds available from the menu depend on the platform on
which the EdgeSwitch software is running and which port you select. In half-duplex mode, the
transmissions are two-way. In other words, the port can send and receive traffic at the same time.
If the interface is a LAG, this field displays LAG.
The port speed and duplex mode for physical interfaces. The physical status is not reported for LAGs.
When a port is down, the physical status is unknown.
