Object

column r/w Enumeration 
The desired state of the interface.  The testing(3) state
indicates that no operational packets can be passed.  When a
managed system initializes, all interfaces start with
ifAdminStatus in the down(2) state.  As a result of either
explicit management action or per configuration information
retained by the managed system, ifAdminStatus is then
changed to either the up(1) or testing(3) states (or remains
in the down(2) state).
