The University has been assigned a Private Enterprise Number, which can be used to create unique object identifier (OID) for various applications. The most common applications are in SNMP network management and LDAP schemas, but OIDs are also used in RFC 2865 Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) in RADIUS, and in some DHCP options; they can also be used in URNs: see RFC 3001.
The IANA function is responsible for the allocation of Private Enterprise Numbers under the prefix (arc):
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise (1.3.6.1.4.1)
The University of Strathclyde has been assigned a Private Enterprise Number as follows (from the IANA PEN Registry):
7577 University of Strathclyde J R Binks network-manager@strath.ac.uk
Hence, the University is granted autonomous management of all OIDs with the prefix (arc):
1.3.6.1.4.1.7577
Delegations may be made to organisational units or projects within the University.
For more information, please contact urn-admin@strath.ac.uk.
