Description: Indicates the given port type of the I/O Module. The definitions of port types are: unUsed: the value of zero indicates the request is for a real port index of the IOM in the OID. In the port type GET operation, the return value of zero means the port is not used for anything. externalPort: This port is connected to an external device and is for data traffic. externalManagementPort: This port is solely for an external management connection. This port is not used for data traffic from an external device externalDualPort: This port is used for both data traffic as well as for management traffic. bladePort : This port is connected to a blade. mmManagementPort: This port is connected to the Management Module. uplinkPort: This port is configured for up link functionality. interModulePort(: This port is connected to another I/O Module for data. interModuleManagementPort: This port is connected to another I/O Module for management purpose. interModuleDualPort: The port is connected to another I/O Module and can be used for both data and management purpose. interModuleExternalBridgePort: This port is an external bridge port that connects to another bridge. interModuleInternalBridgePort: This port is an internal bridge port that connects to chassis bridge module.

To get the port type of a given port, the port type in OID must be zero and the port command in the OID is 2. For an example: To get a port type of the real port index 7, the OID would be: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.215.2.1.1.1.2.7.0 and the result should be 4 (bladePort).
