#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
