Description: This object is an 'alias' name for the physical component.
What is entPhysicalAlias?
A writable, non-volatile 'alias' name an admin can assign to a physical component as a durable label of their own choosing, persisting across reboots and re-indexing. An admin sets this to a meaningful local label, like a rack location code, to make a component easier to identify in inventory tools.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.14 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalAlias
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.14.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalAlias.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.14.1 s <value>
