Cisco IP Transfer Point Xua As Network Appear

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.253.1.8.1.1.24

The Network Appearance is a local reference shared by SG and AS that together with a point code uniquely identifies an SS7 node by indicating the specific SS7 network it belongs to. It can be used to distinguish between signaling traffic associated with different networks being sent between the SG and the ASP over a common SCTP association. An example scenario is where an SG appears as an element in multiple separate national SS7 networks and the same point code value may be reused in different networks.
