What is wsSwMacNameName?

This object holds the human-friendly name an admin assigns to the MAC address in this entry, which must be unique and cannot contain characters like backslash, slash, colon, asterisk, question mark, double quote, less-than sign, or vertical bar, nor start with a period. An admin sets this so a device shows up by a recognizable label, like a hostname or asset tag, instead of a raw MAC address in switch displays and logs. For example, naming a MAC address Printer-2ndFloor makes that device instantly recognizable in port and MAC listings instead of showing only its hex address.
