RFC 1213 MIB II
The following list provides descriptions of the statistics fields in the lanadmin(1M)
command display. For more detailed information about the fields, see RFC 1213.
Field Description
Network Management ID A unique ID assigned by the system for the network
management of each network interface.
PPA Number A unique number assigned to each network interface.
Description A textual string containing information about the
interface.
Type (value) The type of interface, distinguished according to the
physical/link protocols, immediately below the
network layer in the protocol stack.
Gigabit Ethernet can have either an ethernet or IEEE
802.3 value.
10/100Base-TX can have either an
ethernet-csmacd(6) or iso88023-csmacd(7) value.
MTU Size The size of the largest datagram which can be sent or
received on the interface specified in octets. This
value can be 1500 or 9000.
Speed in bits per second The speed of the card — 1000 Mbit/s for
1000Base-SX. 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s for
1000Base-T. 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s for Fast
Ethernet.
Station Address The interface address at the protocol layer
immediately below the network layer in the protocol
stack. For interfaces that do not have such an
address, such as serial line, this object contains an
octet string of zero length.
Administration Status (ifAdmin) Administration Status sets the status of the card.
This parameter may only be set using the Openview
Tool. It may be set to one of these three values:
Operation Status (ifOper) Operation Status reports the status of the card if
ifAdmin has been set to up(1). If ifAdmin is set to
down(2), then ifOper will also be down(2).
Table 13 Administration Status (ifAdmin): Valid Values
up(1) Allow card to pass packets
down(2) card is inoperative
testing(3) card is in test mode
Table 14 Operation Status (ifOper): Valid Values
up(1) Ready to pass packets
down(2) Not operative (card is down)
