StationAddressType

• Base type Enumeration

A value representing a network address that can be used to identify a station on the network. unknown(0) An unknown address type. This value MUST be used if the value of the corresponding StationAddress object is a zero-length string. It may also be used to indicate an station address which is not in one of the formats defined below. ipv4(1) An IPv4 address as defined by the InetAddressIPv4 textual convention as defined in RFC3291. ipv6(2) An IPv6 address as defined by the StationAddressIPv6 textual convention below. mac(3) An 802.3 MAC layer address, i.e. an Ethernet address, defined by the MacAddress textual convention as defined in RFC2579. dns(16) A DNS domain name as defined by the InetAddressDNS textual convention as defined in RFC3291. Each definition of a concrete StationAddressType value must be accompanied by a definition of a textual convention for use with that StationAddressType. The StationAddressType textual convention SHOULD NOT be subtyped in object type definitions to support future extensions. It MAY be subtyped in compliance statements in order to require only a subset of these address types for a compliant implementation.
