## interface/detect-internet/state 
**Type:** Directory

Read-only state of each interface that Detect Internet watches (the interfaces of `detect-interface-list` in [`/interface/detect-internet`](.)). See [Detect Internet](../../../diagnostics-monitoring-and-troubleshooting/detect-internet).

<ArgTable c1="Read-only Argument" c2="Type" c3="Description">
<ArgTableRow arg="name" typ="iface_enum">The watched interface.</ArgTableRow>
<ArgTableRow arg="state" typ="enum (no-link | unknown | lan | wan | internet | slave) { no-link:0, unknown:1, lan:2, wan:3, internet:4, slave:5 }">
State of the interface:
- `no-link` - The interface has no link.
- `unknown` - The router is checking the interface, for about 6 seconds.
- `lan` - The start state of layer 2 interfaces, and the state after a link change. An interface that stays `lan` for an hour is locked until its next link change.
- `wan` - The router's active route to 8.8.8.8 goes through the interface. Layer 3 tunnels become `wan` when their link comes up. A `wan` interface goes back to `lan` only after a link change.
- `internet` - A `wan` interface through which the router reaches `cloud.mikrotik.com` on UDP port 30000.
- `slave` - The interface is a port of a bridge or another interface.
