The Solaris machines are, the Linux are not. Why do you ask?

The Solaris dmfe devices are Davicom Fast Ethernet cards. The hme devices on 
Linux are also ethernet.

I tried both of these:

interface dmfe0 ethernetCsmacd 100000000
interface dmfe0 6 100000000

each time I made the change, I stopped and restarted snmpd. The type was the 
value I got from IANAifType-MIB., However, the interface is still reported 
down. Something wierd was/is also happening. I ran these two commands one after 
the other:

c3-app-11 #  snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1  IF-MIB::ifOperStatus
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.1 = INTEGER: down(2)
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.2 = INTEGER: down(2)
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.3 = INTEGER: down(2)
c3-app-11 #   snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1  .1 | grep  
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.1 = INTEGER: up(1)
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.2 = INTEGER: down(2)
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.3 = INTEGER: down(2)

Why is the interface down when I do a walk just on the brach, but up when I do 
a walk on the whole tree? I'm sooooo confused! Granted this lo0, but still. 
What is going on?

Jim Mohr
