> # Device Alias Mode

> Field | Description
> --- | ---
> ConfigMode | Specifies the mode in which the device aliases can be configured. When it is set to basic, the device aliases operate in basic mode of operation. When basic mode is turned on, all MIBs which are using device aliases should internally convert them to their equivalent pWWNs and use the pWWNs. The mechanism to be followed for this conversion is implementation specific. When it is set to enhanced, the Device aliases operate in enhanced mode of operation. When enhanced mode is turned on, all MIBs which are using device aliases should use them as is without any conversion. Since the device aliases are used directly without any conversion, this is the native mode of operation of device aliases.
