ipxIfOperState
Module: MSIPX-MIB
OID (symbolic): MSIPX-MIB::ipxIfOperState
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.8.2.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: The current operational state of the interface. If ipxIfAdminState is disabled(1) then ipxIfOperState should be down(1). If ipxIfAdminState is changed to enabled(2) then ipxIfOperState should change to up(2) if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic; it should change to sleeping(3) if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incomming connection); it should remain in the down(1) state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up(2) state.
What is ipxIfOperState?
This read-only value reports the actual operational state of the interface: down(1, faulted, only valid if adminState is also disabled or a fault exists), up(2, ready to pass traffic), or sleeping(3, waiting for an external event like an incoming dial-in connection). Admins use this to distinguish a genuinely faulted interface from one dormant on-demand (like a dial-up WAN link).
