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.
