LAN Interface Card Statistics
Chapter 5 47
MTU Size The size of the largest datagram which can be sent/received on the interface
specified in octets.
Speed An estimate of the current bandwidth of the interface in bits per second. For
interfaces which do not vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate
estimates can be made, this object contains the nominal bandwidth.
Station Address The interface address at the protocol layer immediately below the network
layer in the protocol stack. For interfaces which do not have such an
address, such as serial line, this object contains an octet string of zero
length.
Administration Status The desired state of the interface It will have one of the following
values:
basicISDN(20)
primaryISDN(21) Proprietary serial
proPointToPointSerial(
22)
ppp(23)
softwareLoopback(24)
eon(25) CLNP over IP [11]
ethernet-3Mbit(26)
nsip(27) XNS over IP
slip(28) generic SLIP
ulta(29) ULTRA technologies
ds3(30) T-3
sip(31) SMDS
frame-relay(32)
