entPhysicalAlias
1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.14
Read-write 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 re-initializations or reboots of the
network management system, including those that result in a change
of the physical entity’s entPhysicalIndex value.
Set to empty string.
entPhysicalAssetID
1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.15
Read-write 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.
Set to empty string.
entPhysicalIsFRU
1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.16
Read only The entPhysicalIsFRU object indicates whether this physical entity is
considered a field replaceable unit by the vendor. If this object contains
the value “true (1),” then this entPhysicalEntry identifies a field
replaceable unit. For all entPhysicalEntries representing components
that are permanently contained within a field replaceable unit, the
value “false (2)” should be returned for this object.
Set to True (1) for FRU entries (port blades, CPs, sensors, power
supplies, and fans; False (2) for container and chassis type entries.
