entPhysicalAssetID

This object is a user-assigned asset tracking identifier
(as specified by a network manager) for the physical entity
and provides non-volatile storage of this information.
              
On the first instantiation of a physical entity, the value
of entPhysicalAssetID associated with that entity is set to
the zero-length string.
              
Not every physical component will have an asset tracking
identifier or even need one.  Physical entities for which
the associated value of the entPhysicalIsFRU object is equal
to 'false(2)' (e.g., the repeater ports within a repeater
module) do not need their own unique asset tracking
identifier.  An agent does not have to provide write access
for such entities and may instead return a zero-length
string.
              
If write access is implemented for an instance of
entPhysicalAssetID and a value is written into the
instance, the agent must retain the supplied value in the
entPhysicalAssetID instance (associated with the same
physical entity) for as long as that entity remains
instantiated.  This includes instantiations across all
re-initializations/reboots of the network management system,
including those resulting in a change of the physical
entity's entPhysicalIndex value.
              
If no asset tracking information is associated with the
physical component, then this object will contain a
zero-length string.
