hpEntPhysicalName
Module: HP-ENTITY-MIB
OID (symbolic): HP-ENTITY-MIB::hpEntPhysicalName
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.9.1.1.1.1.7
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: DisplayString
Access: read-only
Description: The textual name of the physical entity. The value of this object should be the name of the component as assigned by the local device and should be suitable for use in commands entered at the device's `console'. This might be a text name, such as `console' or a simple component number (e.g. port or module number), such as `1', depending on the physical component naming syntax of the device.
If there is no local name, or this object is otherwise not
applicable, then this object contains a zero-length string.
Note that the value of hpEntPhysicalName for two physical entities will be the same in the event that the console interface does not distinguish between them, e.g., slot-1 and the card in slot-1.
What is hpEntPhysicalName?
This is the local, console-usable name the device itself assigns to a physical component, such as 'console' or a simple port or module number like '1'. Admins reference it when they need to match an SNMP-reported physical entity to the identifier they'd type at the device's own command-line console. If the device's console interface can't distinguish between two entities, such as a slot and the card in it, both may share the same hpEntPhysicalName value.
