the interface. For IPCP and IPXCP, the maximum is 1936. When BCP
is enabled, however, the maximum is 1934. Check which NCP is
enabled before configuring the Mru on a connecting device.

VendorDescr Vendor description.
AdminStatus Sets the port to one of the following states:
• up
• down
• testing
When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with
AdminStatus in the down state. As a result of either management or
configuration action, the AdminStatus is changed to the up state (or
remains in the down state). The testing state indicates that no
operational packets can be passed.
OperStatus Operational state of the interface, one of the following:
• up
• down
• testing
The testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed.
If AdminStatus is down, then OperStatus should be down.
If AdminStatus is changed to up, then OperStatus should change to
up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic.
It should remain in the down state if and only if there is a fault that
prevents it from going to the up state.
