| Description | This object specifies an arbitrary name associated with the
alarm filter profile by the management client, and provides
a non-volatile 'handle' for the alarm filter profile.
On the first instantiation of an alarm filter profile, the
value of this object is a zero-length string. However, an
agent may choose to set the value to a locally unique default
value.
If an implementation supports write access to this object,
then the agent is responsible for ensuring the retention
of any value written to this object until a management client
deletes it. The level of retention must span reboots and
reinitializations of the network management system, including
those that result in different assignments to the value of
the entPhysicalIndex associated with the physical entity. |
