What is entPhysicalName?

The device's own local name for this physical component, suitable for use in console commands, such as 'GigabitEthernet1/1' or a slot number like '1'. An admin uses this to match an entPhysicalIndex back to the label they'd recognize from the device's CLI.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalName

Get a specific instance (index 1):
