    The station-name must be a simple name which uniquely
    identifies a particular station instance.  The port-index
    can be either an integer or a wildcard.

1  –  Characteristics

 o  lem threshold

                           Value: For n, 10 to the -n th power

    Link error monitor threshold.

 o  phy type

    Type of the physical port (A, B, S, or M). This characteristic
    cannot be set.

 o  pmd type

    Type of the PDM (transceiver) for this physical port. This
    characteristic cannot be set.

    ANSI multimode           Low power

    ANSI multimode type 1    Thinwire

    ANSI single mode type 2  Shielded twisted-pair

    ANSI SONET               Unshielded twisted-pair

2  –  Counters

 o  creation time

    Time at which the port was created.

 o  connections completed

    Number of times the PHY port entered the in use state, having
    completed the initialization process.

 o  elasticity buffer errors

    Number of times the elasticity buffer function had an overflow or
    underflow.

 o  lct rejects

    Number of times a connection was rejected due to failure of the
    Link Confidence Test at either end of the physical connection.

 o  lem rejects

    Number of times an active connection was disconnected due to
    rejection by the Link Error Monitor at this end of the physical
    connection, or by expiration of the Noise timer.

 o  link errors

    Total number of raw link error input events seen by the Link
    Error Monitor.

3  –  Identifier

 o  index

    An integer that uniquely identifies this physical port to the
    parent station entity.

4  –  Status

 o  broken reason

    Reason phy port is in broken state, or if in broken state, none.

 o  estimated link error rate

    Default: 15                Value: 0-15

    Reports the number of errors during the Link Monitor Test as a
    negative power of 10.  If there are no errors during the Link
    Monitor Test, then the Estimated Link Error Rate is 10(-15th power).

    An Estimated Link Error Rate of 15 indicates an excellent/clear
    link, 14-10 is a noisy link and around 7 would indicate an
    acceptable (failed) link.

 o  neighbor phy type

    Status may be A, B, S, M or unknown.

 o  reject reason

    Reason the phy port is in a failed or watch state. This is not
    meaningful when phy port is in some other state.

    LCT both       Link Confidence Test failed on both sides of the
    sides          physical connection.

    LCT protocol   Neighboring physical port has been detected to
    error          have prematurely exited the link confidence test
                   (LCT).

    LEM reject     Link error monitor disconnected this connection
                   due to the error rate exceeding the LEM threshold.

    local LCT      Link Confidence Test failed on this end of the
                   physical connection.

    noise reject   Noise timer expired because a single noise event
                   lasted for more than 1.31072 ms.

    none           No reason.

    remote LCT     Link Confidence Test failed on the other end of
                   the physical connection.

    remote         Neighboring physical port broke the connection for
    reject         an unknown reason.

    standby        Physical port and its neighboring physical port
                   form a redundant physical connection (dual-
                   homing feature). In a dual-homed configuration,
                   the B to M connection is the higher priority
                   physical connection, and the A to M connection
                   is the standby physical connection. The standby
                   connection will become active if the B to M
                   connection is lost.

    topology       Neighboring physical port's physical port type is
    reason         an illegal match for this physical port's physical
                   port type.

    trace in       Physical port was initializing when a pc-trace
    progress       occurred. When a pc-trace occurs, any physical
                   ports that have not yet established a physical
                   connection are shut down to prevent the topology
                   from changing.

    trace          Physical port was momentarily disabled because it
    received-      received a pc-trace when its own pc-trace function
    disabled       was disabled. The pc-trace function is enabled by
                   default. The trace disable switch is not remotely
                   manageable.

 o  state

    Operational state of the phy port entity (nonsettable).

    broken         The physical port has failed initialization tests
                   and is not available for use.

    failed         Same as waiting, except the physical port has
                   failed to complete the last connection attempt.
                   Refer to the physical port's status parameter
                   reject reason for the reason for connection
                   failure. Connection attempts will continue until
                   successful.

    internal       The physical port has been configured to
    loopback       internally present all transmitted symbols to
                   the receive interface. The network connector is
                   inactive. This allows internally generated test
                   frames to be looped back for test purposes.

    in use         The physical port has established a connection and
                   is fully operational. Communications services are
                   now available.

    off-ready      The physical port is waiting to be enabled or has
                   been disabled by management request.

    starting       The physical port has received a response from
                   the neighboring physical port and is exchanging
                   information and performing the link confidence
                   test (LCT) prior to completing the connection.

    waiting        The physical port is beginning to establish a
                   connection and is waiting for a response from the
                   neighboring physical port.

    watch          Same as starting, except the physical port has
                   failed to complete the last connection attempt.
                   Refer to the physical port's status parameter,
                   reject reason for the reason for connection
                   failure. Connection attempts will continue until
                   successful.

 o  uid

    Entity's unique identifier, which is generated when the entity is
    created.
