ifPortClass

Module: HP-OV-TOPO-DB

OID (symbolic): HP-OV-TOPO-DB::ifPortClass

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.4.1.5.2.1.16

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: For devices for which OpenView can do 'smart' network
(i.e, bridges and hubs) submap layout, this indicates
which port this interface corresponds to on the
device, according to following:

    Value               Meaning
    -------     -------------------------------------
    < 255       Corresponds to a single port (the
                value '1' means 'port 1').  This type
                of value is typical for bridges.

    >= 255      Corresponds to a port group where the
                port group number is obtained by
                subracting 255 (the value '257' means
                'port group 2').  This type of value
                is typical for hubs.

Note: The port number OpenView uses will not
necessarily match the vendor port number, but will
start at 1 for the first non-port-group port.  For
example, if a hub has 12 EtherTwist ports, identified
by the vendor as ports 1-12 and belonging to the same
port group, and also an AUI port identified by the
vendor as port 13, the AUI port will be port 1 for
purposes of OpenView.

For non-smart network connector devices, this value
should be 0 and can be ignored.

What is ifPortClass?

Encodes which physical port (or port group, for hub-like devices) this interface corresponds to on its device: values under 255 mean a single port number, values of 255 or more mean a port group (subtract 255 to get the group number). Admins use it to map an SNMP interface entry back to a labeled physical port for cabling and troubleshooting, keeping in mind OpenView's port numbering may not match the vendor's silkscreen labels.
