3.2.2. Interface Tables

3.2.2. Interface Tables

This MIB includes a pair of tables to convey information about the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols that is interface specific.

Special note should be taken of the administrative status objects. These are defined to allow each protocol to selectively enable or disable interfaces. These objects can be used in conjunction with the ifAdminStatus object to manipulate the interfaces as necessary. With these three objects, an interface may be enabled or disabled completely, as well as connected to the IPv4 stack, the IPv6 stack or both stacks. Setting ifAdminStatus to "down" should not affect the protocol specific status objects.

Each interface table is required when implementing their respective protocols.
