The SUN-PLATFORM-MIB provides extensions to the ENTITY-MIB (RFC2737) where each entity modelled in the system is represented by means of extensions to the entPhysicalTable. Certain of the attributes in the entPhysicalTable are applicable to the model presented by the SUN-PLATFORM-MIB and are explained below:

The entries in the entPhysicalTable have the following significance with respect to the SUN-PLATFORM-MIB model:

entPhysicalIndex containment, M.3100, fig. 2, index for table extensions. entPhysicalContainedIn containment, M.3100, fig. 2 entPhysicalClass Used to select applicable table extensions, Managed Object Class, M.3100, Table 1 entPhysicalHardwareRev version, M.3100, sec. 5.71 entPhysicalFirmwareRev version, M.3100, sec. 5.71 entPhysicalSoftwareRev version, M.3100, sec. 5.71 entPhysicalMfgName vendorName, M.3100, sec. 5.70 entPhysicalAlias userLabel, M.3100, sec. 5.69

Part of this MIB module is an SNMP version of the Generic Network Information Model (NIM) presented in ITU-T M.3100. This information is further extended by attributes derived from the CIM v2.5 Schema.

The containment hierarchy is modelled using the ENTITY-MIB (RFC2737) where each entity modelled in the system is represented by means of extensions to the entPhysicalTable.

Where an entity is an instance of a managed object class which is sub-classed from another, the attributes of each class are modelled in a separate table extension. For example for an entity with an entPhysicalClass of module(9), which corresponds to a Circuit Pack, sub-classed from Equipment, an entry will exist in the sunPlatEquipmentTable, with additional attributes in the sunPlatCircuitPackTable.
