Entity MIB Objects
Description

entLogicalCommunity

OID
Description
180
An indication of the type of logical entity. This will typically
be the Object Identifier name of the node in the SMI's naming
hierarchy that represents the major MIB module, or the
majority of the MIB modules, supported by the logical entity.
For example:
A logical entity of a regular host/router -> mib-2
A logical entity of a 802.1d bridge -> dot1dBridge
A logical entity of a 802.3 repeater ->
snmpDot3RptrMgmt
If an appropriate node in the SMI's naming hierarchy cannot
be identified, the value "mib-2" should be used.
1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.2.1.1.4
An SNMPv1 or SNMPv2C community-string, which can be
used to access detailed management information for this
logical entity. The agent should allow read access with this
community string (to an appropriate subset of all managed
objects) and may also return a community string based on the
privileges of the request used to read this object.
Note that an agent may return a community string with
read-only privileges, even if this object is accessed with a
read-write community string. However, the agent must take
care not to return a community string that allows more
privileges than the community string used to access this
object.
A compliant SNMP agent may wish to conserve naming
scopes by representing multiple logical entities in a single
default naming scope. This is possible when the logical
entities represented by the same value of
entLogicalCommunity have no object instances in common.
For example, "bridge1" and "repeater1" may be part of the
main naming scope, but at least one additional community
string is needed to represent "bridge2" and "repeater2."
