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.
