ifAlias
1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18
Read-write
This object is an alias name for the interface as specified by a 
network manager, and provides a non-volatile handle for the 
interface. On the first instantiation of an interface, the value of ifAlias 
associated with that interface is the zero-length string. As and when a 
value is written into an instance of ifAlias through a network 
management set operation, then the agent must retain the supplied 
value in the ifAlias instance associated with the same interface for as 
long as that interface remains instantiated, including across all 
re-initializations or reboots of the network management system, 
including those which result in a change of the interfaces ifIndex 
value. An example of the value which a network manager might store 
in this object for a WAN interface is the (Telcos) circuit number or 
identifier of the interface. Some agents may support write-access only 
for interfaces having particular values of iftype. An agent which 
supports write access to this object is required to keep the value in 
non-volatile storage, but it may limit the length of new values 
depending on how much storage is already occupied by the current 
values for other interfaces.
NOTE: This object is not supported.

Read only
The value of sysUpTime on the most recent occasion at which any one 
or more of this interfaces counters suffered a discontinuity. The 
relevant counters are the specific instances associated with this 
interface of any Counter32 or Counter64 object contained in the 
iftable or ifXTable. If no such discontinuities have occurred since the 
last re-initialization of the local management subsystem, then this 
object contains a zero value.
NOTE: This object is not supported.

Description
coldStart
1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1
A coldStart trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is re-initializing itself such 
that the agent's configuration or the protocol entity implementation may be altered.
This trap is generated for the following switch events:
•
reboot
•
fastboot
warmStart
1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2
A warmStart trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is re-initializing itself such 
that neither the agent configuration nor the protocol entity implementation is altered.
This trap is generated for the following switch events:
•
firmwaredownload
•
hafailover
