Hi, I would like to ask you for your opinion/hint about this report:
------- BEGIN ------- Description of problem: SNMP IF-MIB::ifOperStatus doesn't report correct status of NIC if it is brought down with ifdown command Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install net-snmp 2. Bring down network interface using ifdown 3. Execute $snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost interface Actual results: net-snmp reports incorrect ifOperStatus Expected results: net-snmp should reports correct ifOperStatus Additional info: [root@dhcp5-123 ~]# ifdown eth0 Device 'eth0' successfully disconnected. [root@dhcp5-123 ~]# snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: lo IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: ens3 IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: virbr0 IF-MIB::ifDescr.4 = STRING: virbr0-nic IF-MIB::ifDescr.5 = STRING: eth0 [root@dhcp5-123 ~]# snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8 IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.1 = INTEGER: up(1) IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.2 = INTEGER: up(1) IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.3 = INTEGER: down(2) IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.4 = INTEGER: down(2) IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.5 = INTEGER: up(1) ------- End ------- I have found, that in case, the LAN cable is physically unplugged, than ifOperStatus is correct. However, when are used ifup/ifdown commands, than ifOperStatus is wrong. Do you have any workaround or hint how can be this issue solved?
