Cabletron Alias Interface

1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.3.7.1.1.1.1.3

The ifIndex of the interface on which this entry was discovered. The ifIndex is an 'external value' that identifies a physical component associated with the Alias entry. This object can be used to identify the physical location of the interface in the ifTable [RFC2863]. The possibility of ifIndex value re-assignment must be accommodated by a management application whenever the value of sysUpTime is reset to zero. Since ifIndex values in different 'naming scopes' are not related to one another, the interface to physical component associations are relative to the same logical entity within the agent. For more discussion of naming scopes, see the ENTITY-MIB [RFC2037]
