Entity MIB Objects

entPhysicalAlias
OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.14
Status Current
Description This object is an alias name for the physical entity as specified by a network manager;
it provides a nonvolatile handle for the physical entity.
On the first instantiation of a physical entity, the value of entPhysicalAlias associated
with that entity is set to the zero-length string. However, the agent might set the value
to a locally unique default value instead of a zero-length string.
If write access is implemented for an instance of entPhysicalAlias and a value is
written into the instance, the agent must retain the supplied value in the
entPhysicalAlias instance associated with the same physical entity for as long as that
entity remains instantiated. This includes instantiations across all reinitializations/
reboots of the network management system, including those that result in a change of
the physical entity’s entPhysicalIndex value.
Note Set to empty string.
entPhysicalAssetID
OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.15
Status Current
Description This object is a user-assigned asset tracking identifier for the physical entity as
specified by a network manager; it provides nonvolatile storage of this information.
On the first instantiation of a physical entity, the value of entPhysicalAssetID
associated with that entity is set to the zero-length string.
Not every physical component has an asset tracking identifier or even need one.
Physical entities for which the associated value of the entPhysicalIsFRU object is
equal to “false(2)” (for example, the repeater ports within a repeater module) do not
need their own unique asset tracking identifier. An agent does not have to provide
write access for such entities and might instead return a zero-length string.
If write access is implemented for an instance of entPhysicalAssetID and a value is
written into the instance, the agent must retain the supplied value in the
entPhysicalAssetID instance associated with the same physical entity for as long as
that entity remains instantiated. This includes instantiations across all re-
initializations/reboots of the network management system, including those that result
in a change of the physical entity’s entPhysicalIndex value.
If no asset tracking information is associated with the physical component, then this
object contains a zero-length string.
Note Set to empty string.
entPhysicalIsFRU
OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.16
