Oper. Status	Current operational state of the interface. The Testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. If Administrative Status is Down then Operational Status should be Down. If Administrative Status is changed to Up then Operational Status should change to Up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic; it should change to Dormant if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incoming connection); it should remain in the Down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the Up state; it should remain in the NotPresent state if the interface has missing (typically, hardware) components.
Admin. Status	Desired state of the interface. The Testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with the Administrative Status in the Down state. As a result of either explicit management action or per configuration information retained by the managed system, the Administrative Status is then changed to either the Up or Testing states (or remains in the Down state).
