A textual description of the interface.
A server implementation MAY map this leaf to the ifAlias
MIB object. Such an implementation needs to use some
mechanism to handle the differences in size and characters
allowed between this leaf and ifAlias. The definition of
such a mechanism is outside the scope of this document.
Since ifAlias is defined to be stored in non-volatile
storage, the MIB implementation MUST map ifAlias to the
value of 'description' in the persistently stored
configuration.Reference : RFC 2863: The Interfaces Group MIB - ifAlias
