pbcCardPortAlias
Module: PBC-GENERIC-MIB
OID (symbolic): PBC-GENERIC-MIB::pbcCardPortAlias
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5987.2.1.1.12.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: DisplayString
Access: read-write
Description: Alias name for the port as specified by a network manager. On the first instantiation of the interface, the value of the pbcCardPortAlias is zero-length string. When a value is written into an instance of the pbcCardPortAlias through a set operation, then the agent must retain the supplied value as long as the port remains instantiated, including across all re-initializations and reboots of the system.
What is pbcCardPortAlias?
An administrator-assigned label for the port, empty by default until someone sets it; once set, the device retains it across reboots. Admins use this to tag ports with meaningful names like 'uplink-to-core' instead of relying on raw port numbers.
