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.
