entPhysicalAlias 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.14
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.
Set to empty string.
