Module: CADANT-CMTS-EQUIPMENT-MIB
OID (symbolic): CADANT-CMTS-EQUIPMENT-MIB::cerPortDescription
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4998.1.1.10.1.4.13.1.27

Description: A persistent copy of ifAlias for this interface.
What is cerPortDescription?
This object stores a persistent user-provided text description of a cable modem termination system port, similar to the standard ifAlias object in network interfaces. Operators use this to annotate ports with meaningful names like 'Upstream 1', 'Downstream Line Card 3' for easier management and troubleshooting. The description survives configuration reloads and helps identify ports in management dashboards.
