### Trigger prototypes for Network interfaces discovery

|Name|Description|Expression|Severity|Dependencies and additional info|
|----|-----------|----------|--------|--------------------------------|
|Ciena: Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Link down|<p>This trigger expression works as follows:<br>1. It can be triggered if the operations status is down.<br>2. `{$IFCONTROL:"{#IFNAME}"}=1` - a user can redefine the context macro to "0", marking this interface as not important. No new trigger will be fired if this interface is down.<br>3. `last(/TEMPLATE_NAME/METRIC,#1)<>last(/TEMPLATE_NAME/METRIC,#2)` - the trigger fires only if the operational status was up to (1) sometime before (so, does not fire for "eternal off" interfaces.)<br><br>WARNING: if closed manually - it will not fire again on the next poll, because of .diff.</p>|`{$IFCONTROL:"{#IFNAME}"}=1 and last(/Ciena 3906 by SNMP/net.if.status[ifOperStatus.{#SNMPINDEX}])=2 and (last(/Ciena 3906 by SNMP/net.if.status[ifOperStatus.{#SNMPINDEX}],#1)<>last(/Ciena 3906 by SNMP/net.if.status[ifOperStatus.{#SNMPINDEX}],#2))`|Average|**Manual close**: Yes|
