ctAliasMacAddress
Module: CTRON-ALIAS-MIB
OID (symbolic): CTRON-ALIAS-MIB::ctAliasMacAddress
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.3.7.1.1.1.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: MacAddress
Access: read-only
Description: The MAC address associated with this alias. The TEXTUAL-CONVENTION MacAddress is defined in SNMPv2-TC as an 802 MAC address represented in 'canonical' order as defined by IEEE 802.1a, i.e., as if it were transmitted least significant bit first.
What is ctAliasMacAddress?
This holds the MAC address recorded for this particular alias entry, encoded as a standard 802 address in canonical (least-significant-bit-first) order. It lets an admin identify precisely which network-layer address is bound to which hardware MAC address as discovered by the device's alias/discovery mechanism. For example, an admin tracing an IP conflict can look up the alias entry's ctAliasMacAddress to see exactly which physical NIC is claiming that address.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.3.7.1.1.1.1.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CTRON-ALIAS-MIB::ctAliasMacAddress
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.3.7.1.1.1.1.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CTRON-ALIAS-MIB::ctAliasMacAddress.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ctAliasMacAddress.1
