Retrieves the administrative status of the interface
The monitor indicates the current administrative status of this interface. This monitor has three possible states:
Healthy: this interface is administratively enabled
Warning: this interface is in an unknown state
Error: this interface is administratively disabled
The values of an interface's AdminStatus and OperStatus attributes are used to determine the state of the interface. When the value of AdminStatus is healthy, the value of OperStatus determines the state of the interface. Otherwise, the value of AdminStatus determines the state of the interface.
The following options can be configured on this monitor:
Option | Definition | Default |
Interval | Amount of time in seconds between checks of the device status | 240 seconds |
Number of retries | Number of attempts in each monitoring interval before the interval's sample is discarded | 3 |
Number of samples | Number of consecutive samples before the monitor changes state | 3 |
Timeout | Amount of time in milliseconds to wait for a response from the device before the sample times out and a new attempt is made to sample the value | 3,500 milliseconds |
An error state for this monitor indicates that the interface is not responding to requests, and was taken offline by an administrator. A warning state indicates that the interface status is unknown.
Use the Health Explorer to check the details for the state change on the State Change Events tab for the monitor. This data shows the Object Identifier (OID) and the value that the device returned in response to the query. Consult the device manufacturer's documentation for the device's specific OID for more information on the problem and troubleshooting procedures.
