rlPhdPortsIfIndexName

Module: CISCOSB-Physicaldescription-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCOSB-Physicaldescription-MIB::rlPhdPortsIfIndexName

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.53.3.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: DisplayString

Access: read-only

Description: The L2 interface number associated with this port, in string format based on the overall hardware architecture of the device (i.e., for monolithic devices just numbers, devices composed of modules (boards, cards) or stackable devices composed of monolithic units in form - , stackable devices in which each unit is composed of modules - -

What is rlPhdPortsIfIndexName?

This read-only DisplayString gives a human-readable rendering of the port's interface identity, formatted according to the device's physical architecture, such as plain numbers for monolithic units or a unit-module-port style for modular and stackable devices. An admin working from the CLI or a report benefits from this readable label instead of a raw ifIndex integer, especially on stacked devices where the format encodes the physical unit and module location. For example, on a stackable switch this field might read '2-1-5', letting the admin immediately identify port 5 on module 1 of stack unit 2 without cross-referencing other tables.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.53.3.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCOSB-Physicaldescription-MIB::rlPhdPortsIfIndexName

Get a specific instance (index 1):
