interfaces

The interfaces view provides a consolidated set of data on all device interfaces.

The following table describes the interfaces view. The type, constraints, and description are automatically inherited, where appropriate, from the tables to which the fields belong.

Table 1. interfaces view
Column name Description Containing table
displayLabel

Human-readable name to be displayed adjacent to this entity in a topology map and in the Network Views tabular layout.

 entityData
duplex
Actual duplex of the interface. Takes one of the following values:
  • HalfDuplex
  • FullDuplex
  • Auto
  • Unknown
  • Other
 interface
entPhysicalParentRelPos

An indication of the relative position of this child component among all its sibling components. Sibling components are defined as entPhysicalEntries which share the same instance values of each of the entPhysicalContainedIn and entPhysicalClass objects.

 chassis
entityId Foreign key to the entityNameCache table. Must be unique for each entity across all domains. entityData
entityName

Name of the entity. This field must be unique for all entities within a given domain.

 entityData
ifAdminStatus
The required state of the interface. Takes one of the following values:
  • Up
  • Down
  • Testing
 interface
ifAlias

The alias for the interface.

 interface
ifDescr

A description of the interface.

 interface
ifHighSpeed

An estimate of the current bandwidth of the interface in units of 1,000,000 bits per second.

 interface
ifIndex

The index of the interface.

 interface
ifMTU

The maximum transmission unit for this interface.

 interface
ifName

The name assigned to the interface.

 interface
ifOperStatus
The current operational state of the interface. Takes one of the following values:
  • Up
  • Down
  • Testing
  • unknown
  • dormant
  • notPresent
  • lowerLayerDown
 interface
ifPhysAddress

The physical address of the interface.

 interface
ifPromiscuousMode
Indicates whether this interface only accepts packets or frames addressed to this station. Takes one of the following values:
  • True
  • False
 interface
ifSpeed

An estimate of the current bandwidth of the interface in bits per second.

 interface
ifType

The interface type.

 interface
ifTypeString

The textual string for the interface type.

 interface
ipAddress
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.
 chassis

In the chassis table, this field is called accessIpAddress.
isTrunkPort

Indicates whether this physical interface is a VLAN trunk port.

 interface
mainNodeEntityId

This field is relevant only for entities that are wholly contained within a single main node device. The field therefore has a non-null value only for entities that are related to a single main node device, such as the main node itself, physical and logical device components, or logical interfaces (for example IP end points or local VLAN entities).

 entityData
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.

 interface
domainMgrId The ID for the domain to which this interface belongs. domainMgr
