primaryISDN (21)
other (1) | other
voiceEM (100) | voice receive and transmit
voiceEncap (103) | voice encapsulation
voiceOverIp (104) | Voice over IP encapsulation

### Admin Status (ifAdminStatus)

Administrative status of the interface. There are two possible values:

up (1) | ready to pass packets
down (2) | the interface is not operational

### Operational Status (ifOperStatus)

Operational status of the interface. There are five possible values:

up (1) | ready to pass packets

testing (3) | interface is in some test mode
unknown (4) | status cannot be determined
dormant (5) |

### Physical Address (ifPhysAddress)

Physical address of the interface.

### IP Address (ipAdEntAddr)

IP address of the interface.

### Mtu (Octets) (ifMtu)

Size of the largest packet which can be sent or received on the interface, in octets.

### Speed (bps) (ifSpeed)

An estimate of the interface's bandwidth, in bits per second.

### Last Change Time (ifLastChange)

The value of sysUpTime when the interface entered its current operational state.

### Link Up/Down Trap Enable (ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable)

Indicates whether linkUp or linDown traps should be generated for the interface.

### Connector Present (ifConnectorPresent)

Indicates whether the interface has a physical connector.
