This is the current operational state of the interface.
The 'Link Status' Testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed.
If 'Admin Status' is Down then 'Link Status' likely will be Down.
If 'Admin Status' is changed to Up, then 'Link Status' should change to Up if the interface is ready to
transmit and receive network traffic.
'Link Status' should change to Dormant if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line
waiting for an incoming connection);
'Link Status' should remain in the Down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the
Up state;
'Link Status' should remain in the NotPresent state if the interface has missing (typically, hardware)
components.
