Overview
The T_INTERFACE MIB class represents configuration and run-time attributes of CORBA interfaces at both the domain and server group levels.
A domain-level T_INTERFACE object is one that is not associated with a Server Group. Its TA_SRVGRP attribute contains a NULL string (string of length 0, "").
A server group level T_INTERFACE object is one that has an associated server group (i.e., its TA_SRVGRP attribute contains a valid server group name for the domain). This Server Group level representation of an interface also provides a container for managing interface state (TA_STATE) and for collecting accumulated statistics.
An associated server group level T_INTERFACE object must exist for any CORBA Interfaces that are activated in a server. The activation of interfaces in a server is controlled by the state of a T_IFQUEUE object for the interface. Activation of a T_IFQUEUE object causes its attributes to be initialized with the values specified for the associated server group level T_INTERFACE object. If such an object does not exist, one will be dynamically created. This dynamically-created server group level T_INTERFACE object will be initialized with the attributes of the domain level T_INTERFACE object for the interface if one exists. If an associated domain level T_INTERFACE object does not exist, system specified default configuration values will be applied. Once activated, interfaces are always associated with a server group level T_INTERFACE object.
The specification of configuration attributes for interfaces at any level is completely optional, system defined defaults will be provided and run-time server group level T_INTERFACE objects will be created. Interfaces to be offered by a server are identified via the ICF file used to generate server skeletons and advertised automatically by the system at server activation time.

Implementation Hint
The T_INTERFACE MIB is a mapping from an interface to a BEA Tuxedo service. The MIB server can implement some of the get/set operations for an interface by calling the existing logic for the associated T_SERVICE object.
