Entity MIB Objects
4
Description An indication of the type of logical entity. This is typically the Object Identifier name
of the node in the SMI’s naming hierarchy that represents the major MIB module, or
the majority of the MIB modules, supported by the logical entity. For example:
% a logical entity of a regular host/router -> mib-2
% a logical entity of a 802.1d bridge -> dot1dBridge
% a logical entity of a 802.3 repeater -> snmpDot3RptrMgmt
If an appropriate node in the SMI’s naming hierarchy cannot be identified, the value
mib-2 should be used.
entLogicalCommunity
OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.2.1.1.4
Description An SNMPv1 or SNMPv2C community string, which can be used to access detailed
management information for this logical entity. The agent should allow read access
with this community string (to an appropriate subset of all managed objects) and
might also return a community string based on the privileges of the request used to
read this object.
Note that an agent might return a community string with read-only privileges, even if
this object is accessed with a read-write community string. However, the agent must
take care not to return a community string that allows more privileges than the
community string used to access this object.
A compliant SNMP agent might want to conserve naming scopes by representing
multiple logical entities in a single default naming scope. This is possible when the
logical entities represented by the same value of entLogicalCommunity have no
object instances in common. For example, “bridge1” and “repeater1” might be part
of the main naming scope, but at least one additional community string is needed to
represent “bridge2” and “repeater2.”
Logical entities “bridge1” and “repeater1” would be represented by sysOREntries
associated with the default naming scope.
For agents not accessible through SNMPvl or SNMPv2C, the value of this object is
the empty string. This object might also contain an empty string if a community
string has not yet been assigned by the agent, or no community string with suitable
access rights can be returned for a particular SNMP request.
Note that this object is deprecated. Agents that implement SNMPv3 access should use
the entLogicalContextEngineID and entLogicalContextName objects to identify the
context associated with each logical entity. SNMPv3 agents might return a zero-
length string for this object or might continue to return a community string (for
example, tri-lingual agent support).
entLogicalTAddress
OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.2.1.1.5
Description The transport service address by which the logical entity receives network
management traffic, formatted according to the corresponding value of
entLogicalTDomain.
