The Administrative Status value takes precedence over Auto Partition and
functionally operates between the auto-partition mechanism and the AUI/
PMA.
Enabling the port sets it to notAutoPartitioned regardless of its pre-disabling
state.
Operational Status
Displays the port's operational state. The operational state indicates that the
port is enabled and working, even though it might be auto-partitioned. The
notPresent state indicates the port is physically removed (note this may or
may not be possible depending on the type of port). Possible values are
operational, notOperational, and notPresent.
Auto Partition State
Indicates whether the port is currently partitioned by the repeater's auto-
partition protection.
The conditions that cause port partitioning are specified in the IEEE 802.3
Standard.
Last Source Address
Displays the Source Address of the last readable frame received. If there is no
data 0.0.0.0.0.0 is displayed.
Source Address Changes
This counter is incremented by one for each time the Last Source Address
attribute changes. This may indicate whether a link is connected to a single
DTE or another multi-user segment. The approximate minimum time for
rollover of this counter is 81 hours.
