Object

column r/w OctetString
This object is an 'alias' name for the 
lower-layer interface on top
of which this IP interface is defined. The 
alias is specified by the network manager, and
provides a non-volatile 'handle'
for the lower-layer interface.
The semantics of the object are similar to the 
semantics of the ifAlias object, defined by 
the Interfaces MIB. At the time when this
Madge MIB object was defined, the latest
release of the Interfaces MIB was 
draft-ietf-ifmib-mib-05.txt. The purpose is to 
support all methods (static or dynamic) for 
creation of interfaces and to allow creation 
of IP table entries without the need of the 
layer 2 interface to be present on the device 
at the time of the creation. It is assumed 
that some implementation dependent mechanisms
allow the IP application to be informed about
the creation of new lower layer interfaces.
