This attribute indicates the current state of the LEC. Note that
ifOperStatus is up only when interfaceState is operational.
- initialState: Some parameters (such as addresses and ELAN
name) are known to the LEC.
- lecsConnect: LEC establishes Configuration Direct VCC to
LECS. Manually-configured LECs skip this state.
- configure: LEC discovers LES.
- join: LEC establishes control connections to LES. LEC is
assigned unique LECID and knows all ELAN parameters.
- initialRegistration: LEC may register additional MAC addresses
with LES. This is in addition to the single MAC address registered
during Join phase.
- busConnect: LEC issues LE_ARP to locate the BUS and sets up
the connection. The BUS then establishes the Multicast Forward
VCC to the LEC.
- operational: LEC is operational and can forward data traffic.
