Interface Description (ifDescr)

Textual description of the VLAN and port.

Type of Membership (vmVlanType)

VLAN membership type assigned to this port:

- A port with static VLAN membership is assigned to a single VLAN directly.
- A port with dynamic membership is assigned a single VLAN based on the content of packets received on the port and via VQP queries to VMPS.
- A port with multi-VLAN membership may be assigned to one or more VLANs directly.

A static or dynamic port membership is specified by the value of vmVlan. A multi-VLAN port membership is specified by the value of vmVlans.

VLAN ID (vmVlan)

Unique identifier of the VLAN this port is assigned to when vmVlanType is set to "static" or "dynamic". When this object is not applicable, it will not be instantiated.

- When vmVlanType is set to "static", the port is always assigned to a VLAN and this object may not be set to "0".
- When vmVlanType is set to "dynamic", the value of this object is "0" if the port is not currently assigned to a VLAN.

VLAN Status (vmPortStatus)

Indicates the current VLAN status of the port:

- inactive—a dynamic port is not assigned to a VLAN, or a port is assigned to a VLAN that is currently not active
- active—the currently assigned VLAN is active
- shutdown—the port has been disabled as a result of VQP shutdown response
