PtopoChassisId

  • Base type OctetString
  • Range 1 — 32

This TC describes the format of a chassis identifier string. Objects of this type are always used with an associated PtopoChassisIdType object, which identifies the format of the particular PtopoChassisId object instance. If the associated PtopoChassisIdType object has a value of 'chasIdEntPhysicalAlias(1)', then the octet string identifies a particular instance of the entPhysicalAlias object for a chassis component (i.e., an entPhysicalClass value of 'chassis(3)'). If the associated PtopoChassisIdType object has a value of 'chasIdIfAlias(2)', then the octet string identifies a particular instance of the ifAlias object for an interface on the containing chassis. If the associated PtopoChassisIdType object has a value of 'chasIdPortEntPhysicalAlias(3)', then the octet string identifies a particular instance of the entPhysicalAlias object for a port or backplane component within the containing chassis. If the associated PtopoChassisIdType object has a value of 'chasIdMacAddress(4)', then this string identifies a particular unicast source MAC address (encoded in network byte order and IEEE 802.3 canonical bit order), of a port on the containing chassis. If the associated PtopoChassisIdType object has a value of 'chasIdPtopoGenAddr(5)', then this string identifies a particular network address, encoded in network byte order, associated with one or more ports on the containing chassis. The first octet contains the IANA Address Family Numbers enumeration value for the specific address type, and octets 2 through N contain the PtopoGenAddr address value in network byte order.
