#1719 PR merged: Issue #1701: Use a fallback to get interface state using the 'carrier' status

Labels: enhancement, fixed / solved / done

rmetrich opened issue at 2018-01-31 10:59:

Since some network drivers do not set the operstate value to down or up, we can fallback to using the carrier value:

  • failing to read the value means interface is administratively down
  • reading 0 means down
  • reading 1 means up
