Issue/Introduction

Virtual interfaces are not displayed in the Spectrum Report Manager (SRM) "Current Ports Detail: Selected Devices" report

Environment

Release: Any
Component:

Cause

Only physical interfaces are shown in SRM reports. Spectrum checks the value of the ifConnectorPresent attribute on the interface model to determine if the interface is physical or virtual. An ifConnectorPresent value of 1 indicates the interface is a physical interface.

Resolution

This is functioning as designed.

Additional Information

The ifConnectorPresent attribute is defined in the ifMIB as follows:

ifConnectorPresent OBJECT-TYPE
 SYNTAX TruthValue {
   true(1),
   false(2)
 }

 ACCESS read-only
 STATUS current

 DESCRIPTION
 "This object has the value 'true(1)' if the interface sublayer has a physical connector and the value 'false(2)' otherwise."
  ::= { ifXEntry 17 }
