MIB Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
An enumerated value that provides an indication of the
general hardware type of a particular physical entity. There
are no restrictions as to the number of entPhysicalEntries of
each entPhysicalClass, which must be instantiated by an
agent.
Integer
Values
The physical entity class is known, but does not match any of the
supported values.
The physical entity class is unknown to the agent.
The physical entity class is an overall container for networking
equipment. Any class of physical entity except a stack may be
contained within a chassis, and a chassis may be contained only
within a stack.
The physical entity class is a device for aggregating and
forwarding networking traffic, such as a shared backplane in a
modular ethernet switch. Note that an agent may model a
backplane as a single physical entity, which is actually
implemented as multiple discrete physical components (within a
chassis or stack).
The physical entity class is capable of containing one ore more
removable physical entities, possibly of different types (such as a
chassis slot or daughter-card holder). For example, each (empty
or full) slot in a chassis will be modeled as a container. Note that
all removable physical entities should be modeled within a
container entity, such as field-replaceable modules, fans, or
power supplies. Note that all known containers, including empty
containers, should be modeled by the agent.
The physical entity class is a power-supplying component.
The physical entity class is a fan or other heat-reduction
component.
The physical entity class is a sensor, such as a temperature sensor
within a router chassis.
