Description:

This MIB is an extension of the ENTITY-MIB
specified in RFC2737.

This MIB module contains Cisco-defined extensions
to the entityPhysicalTable to represent information
related to entities of class module(entPhysicalClass
= 'module') which have a Processor.

A processor module is defined as a physical entity
that has a CPU, RAM and NVRAM so that
it can independently
- load a bootable image
- save configuration.
This module is the entry point for external
applications like SNMP Manager, CLI, FTP etc.

Line card is an interface card with at least a
Processor and RAM. This might be referred to as
Service Module in some cisco products.

A configuration register is a 16 bit
software register.
The configuration register is mainly used to
check for instructions on where to find the Cisco
Operating System software.
Some other functions of configuration register are:
- To select a boot source and default boot filename.
- To enable or disable the Break function.
- To control broadcast addresses.
- To set the console terminal baud rate.
- To load operating software from Flash memory.
- To allow us to manually boot the system using the
boot command at the bootstrap program prompt.

Booting is the process of initializing the
hardware and starting the Operating System.
