Attributes for Device connection lists some key attributes for device connection. The “A_” prefix distinguishes the attributes for the network adapter (port or interface) at the one end of the device connection, and the “Z_” prefix distinguishes the attributes for the network adapter (port or interface) at the other end of the device connection.

Table 1. Attributes for Device connection

Attribute

Description

Allowed values

A_AdminStatus

Reflects the current administrative status of the network adapter (port or interface) at this end of the device connection:

  • UP indicates that the network adapter is administratively enabled.

  • DOWN indicates that the network adapter is administratively disabled.

  • TESTING indicates that the network adapter is in testing mode.

  • OTHER indicates that the network adapter is in an unknown state.

  • NOTPRESENT indicates that the MIB AdminStatus value for the network adapter is missing.

  • UNKNOWN indicates that the network adapter has yet to be polled.

When the value of the network adapter’s A_AdminStatus is UP, the value of A_OperStatus determines the state of the adapter. Otherwise, the value of A_AdminStatus determines the state of the adapter.

10000000 bps

Integer

A_OperStatus

Reflects the current operational status of the network adapter at this end of the device connection:

  • UP indicates that the network adapter is operationally up.

  • DOWN indicates that the network adapter is operationally down.

  • TESTING indicates that the network adapter is in testing mode.

  • OTHER indicates that the network adapter is in an unknown state.

  • DORMANT indicates that the network adapter is waiting for an external action to occur before becoming active.

  • NOTPRESENT indicates that the MIB OperStatus value for the network adapter is missing.

  • UNKNOWN indicates that the network adapter has yet to be polled.

Enum:

  • UP

  • DOWN

  • TESTING

  • OTHER

TRUE if a logical connection exists for this device connection; that is, the network adapters at the ends of this device connection are not physically connected to one another.

(FALSE if a logical connection does not exist for this device connection; that is, the network adapters at the ends of this device connection are physically connected to one another.)

Boolean:

TRUE, FALSE

IsLogicalConnectionDown-Enabled

TRUE if a LogicalConnectionDown problem has been diagnosed by IP Availability Manager for this device connection.

(FALSE if a LogicalConnectionDown problem has not been enabled for this device connection.)

Boolean:

TRUE, FALSE

IsNetworkAdapterNotOperating

TRUE if at least one of the two network adapters connected through this device connection is operationally down or flapping.

(FALSE if neither network adapter is operationally down or flapping.)

Boolean:

TRUE, FALSE

IsNetworkAdapterFlapping

TRUE if at least one of the two network adapters connected through this device connection is flapping.

(FALSE if neither network adapter is flapping.)

Boolean:

TRUE, FALSE

Name

Name, as known in the modeled topology, of this device connection:

Cable example:

LINK-IF-10.9.1.109/10.9.1.109<->PORT-qa-sw2/19

String

Z_AdminStatus

Reflects the current administrative status of the network adapter (port or interface) at this end of the device connection:

  • UP indicates that the network adapter is administratively enabled.
