InterfaceAndOperStatusFlags
A set of flags that provide information about the interface. These flags are combined with a bitwise OR operation. If none of the flags applies, this member is set to zero.- HardwareInterface
Set if the network interface is for hardware.
- FilterInterface
Set if the network interface is for a filter module.
- ConnectorPresent
Set if a connector is present on the network interface. This value is set if there is a physical network adapter.
- NotAuthenticated
Set if the default port for the network interface is not authenticated. If a network interface is not authenticated by the target, the network interface is not in an operational mode. Although this applies to both wired and wireless network connections, authentication is more common for wireless network connections.
- NotMediaConnected
Set if the network interface is not in a media-connected state. If a network cable is unplugged for a wired network, this would be set. For a wireless network, this is set for the network adapter that is not connected to a network.
- Paused
Set if the network stack for the network interface is in the paused or pausing state. This does not mean that the device is in a hibernated state.
- LowPower
Set if the network interface is in a low power state.
- EndPointInterface
Set if the network interface is an endpoint device and not a true network interface that connects to a network. This can be set by devices such as smartphones which use networking infrastructure to communicate to the PC but do not provide connectivity to an external network. It is mandatory for these types of devices to set this flag.
- HardwareInterface
OperStatus
The operational status for the interface as defined in RFC 2863. This member can be one of the values from the IF_OPER_STATUS enumeration type that is defined in the Ifdefh header file.Value Meaning IfOperStatusUp
1
The interface is up and able to pass packets.
IfOperStatusDown
2
The interface is down and not in a condition to pass packets. The IfOperStatusDown state has two meanings, depending on the value of AdminStatus member. If AdminStatus is not set to NET_IF_ADMIN_STATUS_DOWN and ifOperStatus is set to IfOperStatusDown then a fault condition is presumed to exist on the interface. If AdminStatus is set to IfOperStatusDown, then ifOperStatus will usually also be set to IfOperStatusDown or IfOperStatusNotPresent and there is not necessarily a fault condition on the interface.
IfOperStatusTesting
3
The interface is in testing mode.
IfOperStatusUnknown
4
The operational status of the interface is unknown.
IfOperStatusDormant
5
The interface is not actually in a condition to pass packets (it is not up), but is in a pending state, waiting for some external event. For on-demand interfaces, this new state identifies the situation where the interface is waiting for events to place it in the IfOperStatusUp state.
IfOperStatusNotPresent
6
A refinement on the IfOperStatusDown state which indicates that the relevant interface is down specifically because some component (typically, a hardware component) is not present in the managed system.
IfOperStatusLowerLayerDown
7
A refinement on the IfOperStatusDown state. This new state indicates that this interface runs on top of one or more other interfaces and that this interface is down specifically because one or more of these lower-layer interfaces are down.
AdminStatus
The administrative status for the interface as defined in RFC 2863. This member can be one of the values from the NET_IF_ADMIN_STATUS enumeration type that is defined in the Ifdefh header file.Value Meaning NET_IF_ADMIN_STATUS_UP
1
The interface is initialized and enabled. But the interface is not necessarily ready to transmit and receive network data because that depends on the operational status of the interface.
NET_IF_ADMIN_STATUS_DOWN
2
The interface is down, and this interface cannot be used to transmit or receive network data.
NET_IF_ADMIN_STATUS_TESTING
3
The interface is in a test mode, and no network data can be transmitted or received.

1
The connection type is dedicated. The connection comes up automatically when media sense is TRUE For example, an Ethernet connection is dedicated.
NET_IF_CONNECTION_PASSIVE
2
