portAddress

Attribute

This string corresponds uniquely with a physical connector, and makes it possible to recognize where in the device configuration it is located.
Normally, this is the value of the 'ifDescr' attribute for the device.
However, in situations such as when it is not possible to work out the configuration based only on this string, this string can be modified so that the location in the configuration can be identified.
Eg,
"FastEtherner0/1"
"Slot:1, Port:1"
