slEntPhysicalOperStatus

Module: SL-ENTITY-MIB

OID (symbolic): SL-ENTITY-MIB::slEntPhysicalOperStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4515.1.3.6.1.1.1.18

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The current operational state of the interface. If slEntPhysicalAdminStatus is down(2) then slEntPhysicalOperStatus should be down(2). If slEntPhysicalAdminStatus is changed to up(1) then slEntPhysicalOperStatus should change to up(1) if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic It should remain in the down(2) state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up(1) state; it should remain in the notPresent(6) state if the interface has missing (typically, hardware) components.

What is slEntPhysicalOperStatus?

This read-only object reports the actual operational state of a physical interface or entity (up or down), reflecting whether it is ready to transmit and receive traffic independent of administrative intent. It mirrors the administrative status but becomes down only when hardware faults prevent normal operation, even if administratively enabled. Field technicians and operators use this to distinguish intentional shutdowns from actual failures.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
