NIC Controller Information

The following information displays information about NIC controllers.

  • Model - displays the NIC controller model, such as Compaq NetFlex-2 Controller. Use this information for identification purposes.

    If this controller is located on a PCI slot, this item displays the content of OID cpqSePciSlotBoardName (1.3.6.1.4.1.232.1.2.13.1.1.5) for the associated slot. If the slot is an EISA slot the OID cpqSeEisaSlotBoardName (1.3.6.1.4.1.232.1.2.5.1.1.4) is used instead.

  • Status - displays four valid states:

    • OK - The controller is operating normally.

    • Failed - The controller has failed and is no longer operating.

    • Unknown - You may need to upgrade your driver software and/or NIC Agent. The NIC Agent cannot determine the status of the controller.

    • Link failure - Adapter does not have link.

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.14 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterStatus

  • Role - displays the following states:

    • Team Member - Any adapter in a Switch-Assisted Load Balancing Team.

    • Primary - The adapter is the primary adapter in the group, or the group consists of a single adapter. The primary adapter in a Fail On Fault group handles all the network traffic unless it fails. The primary adapter in a Transmit Load Balancing group receives all traffic. The physical address of this adapter is the default address of the group.

    • Secondary - In a Fail On Fault group, this adapter functions as a standby. No network traffic is handled by this adapter other than periodic test packets. In a Transmit Load Balancing group, this adapter is in a secondary role and transmits packets to increase bandwidth.

    • Unknown - The role of the adapter could not be determined.

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.3 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterRole

  • Slot (CBHSS) - displays the physical location of the NIC. For example, if this value is 3, then the NIC is located in slot 3 of your computer. Use this information for identification purposes.

    The NIC interface slot value is "Embedded" if the NIC is integrated onto the system board. If the slot could not be determined, or if the NIC is an ISA card, the slot value is "Unknown".

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.5 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterSlot

  • Port number is 1 for a single-headed NIC, or the port number for a multiple-headed NIC. If the port number could not be determined, the port value is "N/A".

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.10 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterPort

  • Duplex - displays the current state of the Full Duplex Ethernet Support. HP NICs support the Full Duplex Ethernet if they are attached to a device that also supports Full Duplex.

    The following duplex values are possible:

    • N/A - The NIC Agent cannot determine the current state of the Full Duplex Ethernet Support. You may need to upgrade your software.

    • Half - The NIC is currently running in half duplex mode.

    • Full - The NIC is currently running in full duplex mode.

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.11 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterDuplexState

  • Base Mem Addr - displays the base memory address used by this NIC. If this device does not use system memory, or if this information is unavailable, this item is N/A. Use this information for identification purposes.

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.9 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterMemAddr

  • Base I/O Addr - specifies the starting address of the I/O port used to communicate with this device. Use this information for identification purposes. This I/O port address cannot be used by any other device. The value "N/A" indicates that the device does not use I/O mapped addresses or this information is unavailable.

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.6 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterIoAddr

  • DMA Channel - displays the number of the DMA channel used for this NIC. If this device does not use a DMA channel, or if this information is unavailable, this item is N/A. Use this information for identification purposes.

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.8 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterDma

  • IRQ - displays the hardware interrupt that this NIC uses to communicate with the device driver. Use this information for reference purposes. The value "N/A" indicates that this device does not use an IRQ or this information is unavailable.

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.7 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterIrq

  • Physical Address - displays the physical (MAC) address presented on the network by the physical adapter.

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.18.2.3.1.1.4 - cpqNicIfPhysAdapterMACAddress
