interface

Edit online

The interface view joins data from a number of tables and is equivalent to the interface table that existed in Network Manager version 3.9 and earlier , thereby ensuring backward compatibility.

The following table describes the interface view.

Table 1. interface view
Column name	Description	Containing table and field name
entityId	Foreign key to the entityNameCache table. Must be unique for each entity across all domains.	networkInterface entityData
ifIndex	The index of the interface.	networkInterface SNMPIndex
ifPhysAddress	The physical address of the interface.	networkInterface PhysicalAddress
ifName	The name assigned to the interface.	networkInterface ifName
ifDescr	A description of the interface.	networkInterface ifDescr
ifAlias	The alias for the interface.	networkInterface ifAlias
ifSpeed	An estimate of the current bandwidth of the interface in bits per second.	networkInterface ifSpeed
ifHighSpeed	An estimate of the current bandwidth of the interface in units of 1,000,000 bits per second.	networkInterface ifHighSpeed
ifAdminStatus	The required state of the interface. Takes one of the following values: Up Down Testing	networkInterface ifAdminStatus
ifOperStatus	The current operational state of the interface. Takes one of the following values: Up Down Testing unknown dormant notPresent lowerLayerDown	networkInterface ifOperStatus
ifType	The interface type.	networkInterface IANAInterfaceType
ifTypeString	The textual string for the interface type.	networkInterface ifTypeString
ifMTU	The maximum transmission unit for this interface.	networkInterface MTU
ifPromiscuousMode	Indicates whether this interface only accepts packets or frames addressed to this station. Takes one of the following values: True False	networkInterface PromiscuousMode
ifConnectorPresent	Indicates whether the interface has a connector. Takes one of the following values: True False	networkInterface ConnectorPresent
accessIPAddress	The IP address through which this entity was discovered and will be monitored. Note: For non-IP entities, such as layer 1 optical devices, this field is null.	networkInterface accessIP
accessProtocol	An integer representation of the network protocol used by the presently-defined zone: 0: Unknown 1: IPv4 2: IPv4 that has been through network address translation (NAT) 3: IPv6 4: Element Management System (EMS) key for a non-IP device	networkInterface accessProtocol
entPhysicalVendorType	The vendor-specific hardware type of this physical entity.	x_cdmPhysicalConnector Model
entPhysicalParentRelPos	The relative position of this entity within the containment.	x_cdmPhysicalConnector RelativePosition
entPhysicalIndex	The physical index for this entity.	x_cdmPhysicalConnector physicalIndex
entPhysicalName	The textual name of this physical entity.	x_cdmPhysicalConnector Name
entPhysicalDescr	The textual description of this physical entity.	x_cdmPhysicalConnector entPhysicalDescr
portNumber	The port number for this interface on the chassis device. The method of determining the port number is dependent on the make and model of the device that is discovered. For this reason, use this value with caution.	networkInterface portNumber
isTrunkPort	Indicates whether this physical interface is a VLAN trunk port.	networkInterface SwitchPortMode
duplex	Actual duplex of the interface. Takes one of the following values: HalfDuplex FullDuplex Auto Unknown Other	networkInterface OperationalDuplex
