Entity MIB Objects Description 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. entLogicalCommunity OID Description 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." 180 MIB Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
