Transmission Group - HP StorageWorks MSA 2/8 - SAN Switch Reference Manual

Transmission Group

Based on the transmission media underlying each interface on a system, the
corresponding portion of the Transmission group is mandatory for that system.
When Internet-standard definitions for managing transmission media are defined,
the transmission group is used to provide a prefix for the names of those objects.
Typically, such definitions reside in the experimental portion of the MIB until they
are proven, then as a part of the Internet standardization process, the definitions
are accordingly elevated and a new object identifier, under the transmission group
is defined. By convention, the name assigned is:
where type is the symbolic value used for the media in the ifType column of the
ifTable object, and number is the actual integer value corresponding to the
symbol.
