Other than an irrational dislike of the MfD structure, you mean? :-) If I understand the code correctly, this value is reported from the 'data.ifLastChange' field, which is set by _add_new_interface() (in ifTable/ifTable_data_access.c) when the interface is first detected. There's also a separate field 'ifTable_if_ctx.last_changed', which I *think* is related to the scalar 'ifTableLastChange' I don't see how either of these can detect changes in the operational state of an individual interface, which is what ifLastChange is meant to report. Now I'm quite prepared to believe that I've missed something significant. I'm afraid that I do still find the MfD code structure extremely confusing. But I've waded through this code several times now, and I'm increasingly convinced that this object is not reporting the right values. I wait to be corrected.
