alias <"text">
Use the alias command to populate the ifAlias OID (Interface Table MIB of RFC2863) for all physical and
virtual interfaces when using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management stations.
Syntax Description
<input>
Default Values
No defaults required for this command.
Functional Notes
The ifAlias OID is a member of the ifXEntry object-type (defined in RFC2863) used to provide a
non-volatile, unique name for various interfaces. This name is preserved through power cycles. Enter a
string (using the alias command) which clearly identifies the interface.
Usage Examples
The following example defines a unique character string for the T1 interface:
ProCurve(config)#interface t1 1/1
ProCurve(config-t1 1/1)#alias "CIRCUIT_ID_23-908-8887-401"
Technology Review
Please refer to RFC2863 for more detailed information on the ifAlias display string.

interface (for SNMP) — must be encased in quotation marks.
