### Description

```asn1
ipv6IfPhysicalAddress OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX PhysAddress
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS obsolete
DESCRIPTION
"The interface's physical address. For example, for an IPv6 interface attached to an 802.x link, this object normally contains a MAC address. Note that in some cases this address may differ from the address of the interface's protocol sub-layer. The interface's media-specific MIB must define the bit and byte ordering and the format of the value of this object. For interfaces which do not have such an address (e.g., a serial line), this object should contain an octet string of zero length.
This object is obsoleted by IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress."
```
