cxConvPortAlias
Module: CONV-MIB
OID (symbolic): CONV-MIB::cxConvPortAlias
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.495.2.1.6.8.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Alias
Access: read-write
Description: Determines a textual name (alias), assigned by the network administrator, which identifies a particular convergence port. The alias is used by the routing and bridging protocols when they bind to this port.
Range of Values: 0-16 alphanumeric characters. (Note that the first character must be a letter, and spaces are not allowed).
Default Value: none
Note: The system defines two default entries; their respective values are CNV_PORT1 and CNV_PORT2.
Configuration Changed: administrative
What is cxConvPortAlias?
A read-write textual alias, up to 16 alphanumeric characters starting with a letter, assigned by the network administrator to identify a particular convergence port. Routing and bridging protocols bind to the port using this alias, so giving it a meaningful name helps an admin recognize which physical circuit a routing configuration entry refers to. An admin renaming the default "CNV_PORT1" alias to something like "BRANCH_WAN1" would then see that clearer name reflected wherever routing protocols reference the port.
