ifAlias 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18

This object is an alias name for the interface as specified by a network manager, and provides a

non-volatile handle for the interface. On the first instantiation of an interface, the value of ifAlias

associated with that interface is the zero-length string. As and when a value is written into an

instance of ifAlias through a network management set operation, then the agent must retain the

supplied value in the ifAlias instance associated with the same interface for as long as that

interface remains instantiated, including across all re-initializations/reboots of the network

management system, including those which result in a change of the interfaces ifIndex value. An

example of the value which a network manager might store in this object for a WAN interface is the

(Telcos) circuit number/identifier of the interface. Some agents may support write-access only for

interfaces having particular values of iftype. An agent which supports write access to this object is

required to keep the value in non-volatile storage, but it may limit the length of new values

depending on how much storage is already occupied by the current values for other interfaces."

Not supported.

ifCounterDiscontinuityTime 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.17

The value of sysUpTime on the most recent occasion at which any one or more of this interfaces

counters suffered a discontinuity. The relevant counters are the specific instances associated with

this interface of any Counter32 or Counter64 object contained in the iftable or ifXTable. If no such

discontinuities have occurred since the last re-initialization of the local management subsystem,

then this object contains a zero value.

Not supported.
