1.  Introduction

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
   In particular, it describes managed objects for information related
   to the Fibre Channel.

2.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
   RFC 3410 [RFC3410].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
   RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
   [RFC2580].

3.  Short Overview of the Fibre Channel

   The Fibre Channel (FC) is logically a bidirectional point-to-point
   serial data channel, structured for high performance capability.  The
   Fibre Channel provides a general transport vehicle for higher level
   protocols such as Intelligent Peripheral Interface (IPI) and Small
   Computer System Interface (SCSI) command sets, the High-Performance
   Parallel Interface (HIPPI) data framing, IP (Internet Protocol), IEEE
   802.2, and others.

   Physically, the Fibre Channel is an interconnection of multiple
   communication points, called N_Ports, interconnected either by a



RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


   switching network, called a Fabric, or by a point-to-point link.  A
   Fibre Channel "node" consists of one or more N_Ports.  A Fabric may
   consist of multiple Interconnect Elements, some of which are
   switches.  An N_Port connects to the Fabric via a port on a switch
   called an F_Port.  When multiple FC nodes are connected to a single
   port on a switch via an "Arbitrated Loop" topology, the switch port
   is called an FL_Port, and the nodes' ports are called NL_Ports.  The
   term Nx_Port refers to either an N_Port or an NL_port.  The term
   Fx_Port refers to either an F_Port or an FL_port.  A switch port,
   which is interconnected to another switch port via an Inter Element
   Link (IEL), is called an E_Port.  A B_Port connects a bridge device
   with an E_Port on a switch; a B_Port provides a subset of E_Port
   functionality.

   Many Fibre Channel components, including the fabric, each node, and
   most ports, have globally-unique names.  These globally-unique names
   are typically formatted as World Wide Names (WWNs).  More information
   on WWNs can be found in [WWN1] and [WWN2].  WWNs are expected to be
   persistent across agent and unit resets.

   Fibre Channel frames contain 24-bit address identifiers that identify
   the frame's source and destination ports.  Each FC port has an
   address identifier and a WWN.  When a fabric is in use, the FC
   address identifiers are dynamic and are assigned by a switch.

4.  MIB Overview

   This MIB contains the notion of a Fibre Channel management instance,
   which is defined as a separable managed instance of Fibre Channel
   functionality.  Fibre Channel functionality may be grouped into Fibre
   Channel management instances in whatever way is most convenient for
   the implementation(s).  For example, one such grouping accommodates a
   single SNMP agent having multiple AgentX [RFC2741] sub-agents, with
   each sub-agent implementing a different Fibre Channel management
   instance.  To represent such multiple Fibre Channel management
   instances within the same SNMP context (see section 3.3.1 of
   [RFC3411]), all tables in this MIB are INDEX-ed by fcmInstanceIndex,
   which is defined as an arbitrary integer to uniquely identify a
   particular Fibre Channel management instance.

   This MIB contains eleven MIB groups, as follows.

4.1.  The fcmInstanceBasicGroup Group

   This group contains basic information about a Fibre Channel managed
   instance, including its name and description, the Fibre Channel
   function(s) it performs, and optional pointers to hardware and/or
   software components.



RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


4.2.  The fcmSwitchBasicGroup Group

   This group contains basic information about a Fibre Channel switch,
   including its domain-id and whether it is the principal switch of its
   fabric.

4.3.  The fcmPortBasicGroup Group

   This group contains basic information about a Fibre Channel port,
   including its port name (WWN), the name of the node (if any) of which
   it is a part, the type of port, the classes of service it supports,
   its transmitter and connector types, and the higher level protocols
   it supports.

   Each Fibre Channel port is represented by an entry in the ifTable
   (see below).  The tables relating to ports in this MIB are indexed by
   the port's value of ifIndex.

4.4.  The fcmPortStatsGroup Group

   This group contains traffic statistics, which are not specific to any
   particular class of service, for Fibre Channel ports.

4.5.  The fcmPortClass23StatsGroup Group

   This group contains traffic statistics that are specific to Class 2
   or Class 3 traffic on Fibre Channel ports, including class-specific
   frame and octet counters and counters of busy and reject frames.

4.6.  The fcmPortLcStatsGroup Group

   Some of the statistics in the fcmPortClass23StatsGroup can increase
   rapidly enough to warrant them being defined using the Counter64
   syntax.  However, some old SNMP systems do not (yet) support
   Counter64 objects.  Thus, this group defines low-capacity
   (Counter32-based) equivalents for the Counter64-based statistics in
   the fcmPortClass23StatsGroup group.

4.7.  The fcmPortClassFStatsGroup Group

   This group contains traffic statistics that are specific to Class F
   traffic on the E_Ports of a Fibre Channel switch.

4.8.  The fcmPortErrorsGroup Group

   This group contains counters of various error conditions that can
   occur on Fibre Channel ports.




RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


4.9.  The fcmSwitchPortGroup Group

   This group contains information about ports on a Fibre Channel
   switch.  For an Fx_Port, it includes the port's timeout values, its
   hold-time, and its capabilities in terms of maximum and minimum
   buffer-to-buffer credit allocations, maximum and minimum data field
   sizes, and support for class 2 and class 3 sequenced delivery.  For
   an E_Port or B_Port, it includes the buffer-to-buffer credit
   allocation and data field size.

4.10.  The fcmSwitchLoginGroup Group

   This group contains information, known to a Fibre Channel switch,
   about its attached/logged-in Nx_Ports and the service parameters that
   have been agreed with them.

4.11.  The fcmLinkBasicGroup Group

   This group contains information known to a local Fibre Channel
   management instance, and concerning Fibre Channel links including
   those which terminate locally.

5.  Relationship to Other MIBs

   This MIB is a replacement for two other MIBs:  RFC 2837, and the
   Fibre Channel Management Integration MIB which was originally
   submitted as an Internet Draft to the IETF's IPFC Working Group, and
   is now available as [MIB-FA].

5.1.  The Interfaces Group MIB

   The Interfaces Group MIB [RFC2863] contains generic information about
   all lower layer interfaces, i.e., interfaces which are (potentially)
   below the internet layer.  Thus, each Fibre Channel port should have
   its own row in the ifTable, and that row will contain the generic
   information about the interface/port.  The Interfaces Group MIB
   specifies that additional information which is specific to a
   particular type of interface media, should be defined in a media-
   specific MIB.  This MIB is the media-specific MIB for Fibre Channel
   ports/interfaces.

   Section 4 of [RFC2863] requires that a media-specific MIB clarify how
   the generic definitions apply for the particular type of media.  The
   clarifications for Fibre Channel interfaces are as follows.







RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


5.1.1.  Layering Model

   The Interfaces Group MIB permits multiple ifTable entries to be
   defined for interface sub-layers, and for those multiple entries to
   be arranged in a stack.

   For Fibre Channel interfaces, no sublayers are defined and a Fibre
   Channel interface will typically have no other ifTable rows stacked
   on top of it, nor underneath it.

5.1.2.  Virtual Circuits

   This Fibre Channel MIB does not deal with virtual circuits.

5.1.3.  ifRcvAddressTable

   The ifRcvAddressTable does not apply to Fibre Channel interfaces.

5.1.4.  ifType

   The value of ifType for a Fibre Channel interface is 56.

5.1.5.  ifXxxOctets

   The definitions of ifInOctets and ifOutOctets (and similarly,
   ifHCInOctets and ifHCOutOctets) specify that their values include
   framing characters.  For Fibre Channel interfaces, they include all
   the octets contained in frames between the Start-of-Frame and End-
   of-Frame delimiters (excluding the delimiters).

5.1.6.  Specific Interface Group MIB Objects

   The following table provides specific implementation guidelines for
   applying the objects defined in the Interfaces Group MIB to Fibre
   Channel interfaces.  For those objects not listed here, refer to
   their generic definitions in [RFC2863].  (RFC 2863 takes precedence
   over these guidelines in the event of any conflict.)

      Object                   Guidelines

      ifType                   56

      ifMtu                    The MTU as seen by a higher layer
                               protocol, like IP.
                               That is, when IP is running over the
                               interface, this object is the size of the
                               largest IP datagram that can be
                               sent/received over the interface.



RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


      ifSpeed                  For 1Gbs, this will be 1,000,000,000;
                               for 2Gbs, it will be 2,000,000,000.  If
                               auto-negotiation is implemented and
                               enabled on an interface, and the
                               interface has not yet negotiated an
                               operational speed, this object SHOULD
                               reflect the maximum speed supported by
                               the interface.


      ifPhysAddress            The interface's 24-bit Fibre Channel
                               Address Identifier, or the zero-length
                               string if no Address Identifier has been
                               assigned to the interface.

      ifAdminStatus            Write access is not required, and support
                               for 'testing' is not required.

      ifOperStatus             Support for 'testing' is not required.
                               The value 'dormant' has no meaning for
                               Fibre Channel interfaces.

      ifInOctets               The number of octets of information

      ifHCInOctets             contained in received frames between the
                               Start-of-Frame and End-of-Frame
                               delimiters (excluding the delimiters).

      ifInUcastPkts            The number of unicast frames received,

      ifHCInUcastPkts          i.e., the number of Start-of-Frame
                               delimiters received for unicast frames.

      ifInErrors               The sum for this interface of

                                  fcmPortLossofSynchs
                                  fcmPortLossofSignals
                                  fcmPortPrimSeqProtocolErrors
                                  fcmPortInvalidTxWords
                                  fcmPortInvalidCRCs
                                  fcmPortAddressErrors
                                  fcmPortDelimiterErrors
                                  fcmPortTruncatedFrames
                                  fcmPortEncodingDisparityErrors

                               plus any errors in fcmPortOtherErrors
                               that were input errors.




RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


      ifOutOctets              The number of octets of information
      ifHCOutOctets            contained in transmitted frames between
                               the Start-of-Frame and End-of-Frame
                               delimiters (excluding the delimiters).

      ifOutUcastPkts           The number of frames transmitted,
                               ifHCOutUcastPkts         i.e., the number
                               of start-of-frame delimiters transmitted
                               for unicast frames.

      ifOutErrors              This is the number of errors in
                               fcmPortOtherErrors that were output
                               errors.

      ifInMulticastPkts        These counters are not incremented

      ifInBroadcastPkts        (unless a proprietary mechanism for
      ifOutMulticastPkts       multicast/broadcast is supported).
      ifOutBroadcastPkts
      ifHCInMulticastPkts
      ifHCInBroadcastPkts
      ifHCOutMulticastPkts
      ifHCOutBroadcastPkts

      ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable   Refer to [RFC2863].  Default is 'enabled'

      ifHighSpeed              The current operational speed of the
                               interface in millions of bits per second.
                               For 1Gbs, this will be 1000; for 2Gbs, it
                               will be 2000.  If auto-negotiation is
                               implemented and enabled on an interface,
                               and the interface has not yet negotiated
                               an operational speed, this object SHOULD
                               reflect the maximum speed supported by
                               the interface.

      ifPromiscuousMode        This will normally be 'false'

      ifConnectorPresent       This will normally be 'true'.

5.2.  Entity MIB

   The Entity MIB [RFC2737] contains information about individual
   physical components and any hierarchical relationship that may exist
   between them.  Any Fibre Channel management instance with a
   relationship to a physical component (or to a hierarchy of physical
   components) will have its value of the fcmInstancePhysicalIndex
   object contain a pointer to the relevant row in the Entity MIB.  If



RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


   there is no correspondence with a physical component (or said
   component does not have a row in the Entity MIB), then the value of
   fcmInstancePhysicalIndex is zero.  (Note that an implementation is
   not required to support a non-zero value of
   fcmInstancePhysicalIndex.)

5.3.  Host Resources MIB

   The Host Resources MIB [RFC2790] includes information about installed
   software modules.  Any Fibre Channel management instance with a
   correspondence to a software module, will have its value of the
   fcmInstanceSoftwareIndex object contain a pointer to the relevant row
   in the Host Resources MIB.  If there is no correspondence to a
   software module (or said software module does not have a row in the
   Host Resources MIB), then the value of fcmInstanceSoftwareIndex is
   zero.  (Note that an agent implementation is not required to support
   a non-zero value of fcmInstanceSoftwareIndex.)

10.  Security Considerations

   There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
   have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write:

      fcmInstanceTextName
      fcmInstanceDescr
      fcmSwitchDomainId
      fcmPortAdminType
      fcmPortAdminSpeed
      fcmISPortClassFCredit

   Such objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some
   network environments.  For example, the ability to change network
   topology or network speed may afford an attacker the ability to
   obtain better performance at the expense of other network users;
   setting fcmSwitchDomainId to an invalid value could lead to denial of
   service in some configurations.  The support for SET operations in a
   non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative
   effect on network operations.

   Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a
   MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may be considered sensitive or
   vulnerable in some network environments.  It is thus important to
   control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly
   to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over
   the network via SNMP.  In particular, these objects provide
   information on network topology:

      fcmLinkEnd1NodeWwn
      fcmLinkEnd1PhysPortNumber
      fcmLinkEnd1PortWwn
      fcmLinkEnd2NodeWwn
      fcmLinkEnd2PhysPortNumber



RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


      fcmLinkEnd2PortWwn
      fcmLinkEnd2AgentAddress
      fcmLinkEnd2PortType
      fcmLinkEnd2UnitType
      fcmLinkEnd2FcAddressId

   SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
   Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
   even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
   allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
   in this MIB module.

   It is RECOMMENDED that implementors consider the security features as
   provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
   including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
   authentication and privacy).

   Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
   RECOMMENDED.  Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
   enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator
   responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
   instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
   the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
   rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.

11.  IANA Considerations

11.1.  OID Assignment

   IANA has made a MIB OID assignment under the transmission branch.
   Specifically, transmission 56 has been assigned as the OID for
   fcMgmtMIB.  This sub-identifier was requested because this MIB
   contains the media-specific definitions that correspond to the ifType
   value of fibreChannel(56).

11.2.  FC Port Type Registry

   IANA has established a registry for Fibre Channel Port Types.  The
   registry is split into disjointed subset ranges:

   1) a 'standard' range for Fibre Channel Port Types that have been
      standardized by the InterNational Committee for Information
      Technology Standards (INCITS)'s Technical Committee T11.  This
      range will be subject to the 'Expert Review' and 'Specification
      Required' policies described in [RFC2434], with the following
      provisions:

      -  the Expert Reviewer is to be appointed by the IESG.



RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


      -  the Expert Reviewer shall obtain approval (or rejection) from
         INCITS Technical Committee T11 via the chair of that Committee.
         Rejected values shall not be added to the registry.

      -  if the addition is approved, the Expert shall advise IANA of
         how to record the reference to the T11 specification document
         that describes the newly added port type(s), and that is
         considered to be the "other permanent and readily available
         reference" required by [RFC2434].

   The initial assignments in the 'standard' range will be as follows:

      Assigned
       Value     Type      Meaning
      --------   ------    -------
         1       unknown   for use when the type is not known,
                           or is "unidentified" as specified in
                           section 5.1.2.10 of [FC-GS-3]
         2       other     used for types without assigned values
         3       --        an obsolete value, not to be re-assigned
         4       N_Port     see [FC-FS]
         5       NL_Port    see [FC-FS]
         6       F_Port     see [FC-FS]
         7       FL_Port    see [FC-FS]
         8       E_Port     see [FC-FS]
         9       B_Port     see [FC-FS]
        10       G_Port     see [FC-SW-3]
        11       GL_Port    see [FC-SW-3]
        12       F/NL_Port  see [FC-AL-2]

   The above range extends up to a maximum of 9,999.

   2) a range assigned under the "Private Use" policy described in
      [RFC2434] for values intended for private use by one party or
      among mutually consenting parties.
      Values in this range extend from 10,000 to 99,999.  IANA will not
      make any allocations from this range.

   3) values larger than 99,999 are RESERVED.

12.  Comparison to the Fibre Channel Management Integration MIB

12.1.  Problems with the Fibre Channel Management Integration MIB

   The Fibre Channel Management Integration MIB [MIB-FA] had the
   following major problems:

   -  It wasn't formatted using SMIv2, which is mandatory.

   -  The MIB seemed to have been defined with the notion that it would
      be the only MIB that a Fibre Channel product will require.  The
      notion of an agent implementing just a single MIB was abandoned by
      the IETF in 1992 as being non-scalable.  Rather, a Fibre Channel
      MIB needed to be another MIB in the continuing series of MIBs
      defined by the IETF, and thus, it needed to be consistent with its
      predecessors.  In other words, there are existing MIBs that all
      SNMP agents must support, even if the support of Fibre Channel
      interfaces is the only functionality that they have.  Thus, it was
      essential that the Fibre Channel Integration MIB contained only
      objects for information that is specific to Fibre Channel.  All
      objects relevant to non-Fibre Channel environments needed to be
      removed.  This issue applied to a large fraction of the objects
      defined in the MIB.

   -  The MIB had some but not complete overlap in functionality with
      RFC 2837.

   -  Every SNMP agent must implement the ifTable.  The ifTable counters
      are the MIB objects most well-used by administrators in SNMP
      management.  SNMP agents need to implement a row in the ifTable
      for each of their network interfaces, including their Fibre
      Channel interfaces.  The IF-MIB requires a media-specific MIB to
      specify how that type of interface uses the ifTable (see section 4
      in RFC 2863).  [RFC2837] doesn't do that, nor did the Fibre
      Channel Integration MIB.

   -  It incorrectly used the OCTET STRING syntax (instead of Counter32
      or Counter64) for counters.

12.2.  Detailed Changes

12.2.1.  Removal of Sensor-Related Objects

   Information about sensors is not specific to Fibre Channel, and
   therefore should not be in this MIB.  (At the time of writing, the
   IETF's ENTITY MIB Working Group has produced a first draft of a
   Sensor MIB, see [RFC3433].)  This removed the need for:




RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


      connUnitSensorTable (and all its contents)
      connUnitNumSensors
      connUnitSensorStatusChange

12.2.2.  Removal of Trap-registration Objects

   Information about registering "traps" is not specific to Fibre
   Channel, and therefore should not be in this MIB.  (For similar
   functionality, see SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB and SNMP-TARGET-MIB in RFC
   2573).  This removed the need for:

      trapMaxClients
      trapClientCount
      trapRegTable (and all its contents)

12.2.3.  Removal of Event-Related Objects

   Information about generic events is not specific to Fibre Channel,
   and therefore should not be in this MIB.  (For similar functionality,
   see the Event group in RFC 2819 and the Notification Log MIB in RFC
   3014; the SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB provides for the filtering of
   notifications.)  This removed the need for:

      connUnitEventTable (and all its contents)
      connUnitEventFilter
      connUnitNumEvents
      connUnitMaxEvents
      connUnitEventCurrID
      connUnitEventTrap

12.2.4.  Removal of Inventory-Related Information

   Aspects of hardware (physical) components are represented in the
   Entity MIB (RFC 2737); aspects of software modules are represented in
   the Host Resources MIB (RFC 2790).  Two new objects provide indexing
   from this MIB into those MIBs: one having the value of PhysicalIndex
   (or zero) and the other having the value of hrSWInstalledIndex (or
   zero).  These replaced the need for:

      connUnitNumports
      connUnitRevsTable (and all its contents)
      connUnitNumRevs
      connUnitPortRevision
      connUnitPortVendor
      connUnitProduct
      connUnitInfo
      connUnitSn
      connUnitModuleId



RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


      connUnitVendorId
      connUnitDeletedTrap

12.2.5.  Removal of Revision Numbers

   The forward/backward compatibility rules of how to evolve MIBs are
   designed such that MIBs do not have revision numbers.  This removed
   the need for:

      revisionNumber

12.2.6.  Removal of Other Not FC-Specific Information

   Other information was removed because it was not specific to Fibre
   Channel:

      systemURL
      statusChangeTime
      configurationChangeTime
      connUnitUrl
      connUnitUpTime
      connUnitState
      connUnitContact
      connUnitLocation
      connUnitProxyMaster
      connUnitControl
      connUnitStatus
      connUnitStatusChange

12.2.7.  Clean-up of Ambiguous/Obsolete Definitions

   Some information in the FC Management integration was obsolete or
   ambiguous:

      statusChangeTime (obsolete)
      configurationChangeTime (obsolete)
      connUnitTableChangeTime (obsolete)
      connUnitStatusChangeTime (obsolete)
      connUnitConfigurationChangeTime (obsolete)
      connUnitNumZones (obsolete)
      connUnitZoneTable (referenced but not defined)
      connUnitLinkCurrIndex (badly defined)

12.2.8.  Use of an ifTable Entry

   The following objects were removed because they duplicated existing
   IF-MIB objects:




RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005

12.2.9.  Removed Because of AgentX Difficulty

   An AgentX environment [RFC2741] consists of a master agent and
   several sub-agents.  It is not difficult to implement the same MIB in
   several such sub-agents if all of the MIB's tables have a common
   index variable as the first auxiliary object in their INDEX clauses.
   However, any scalars that the MIB contains pose a problem for the
   AgentX environment.  All the (remaining) scalars were therefore
   removed:

      revisionNumber
      uNumber
      systemURL





RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


12.2.10.  FC Management Instance

   The term "connectivity unit" was changed to "FC management instance".

   The term "connectivity unit" was not properly defined in [MIB-FA],
   and its usage provided a confused mixture of indications to the
   implementor:

      -  the definition of FcUnitType suggested it was functional;

      -  the definition of uNumber suggested it was physical;

      -  the definition of connUnitProduct suggested it was a vendor's
         product;

      -  etc.

   The common implementation strategy for the "connectivity unit" was
   which ever grouping provided access to the management functionality
   the easiest.  (One such grouping accommodates a single SNMP agent
   having multiple AgentX [RFC2741] sub-agents, each supporting a
   separate implementation of the MIB.)

   In fact, this scenario is not new; in practice, a "connectivity unit"
   will have the same semantics as a management "instance" in other
   MIBs, e.g., the IPS WG's own iSCSI MIB.  For this MIB, its meaning
   is: "a separable managed instance of Fibre Channel functionality".
   Given this definition, the "FC management instance" is a better name
   because it is more accurate and more representative of the definition
   than is "connectivity unit".

12.2.11.  Counter Syntax

   All packet and octet counters have been changed to be Counter64's
   (but Counter32 versions of them are also included for use by old
   agents).  The error counters have been changed to Counter32's.  (In
   the probably impossible, and at most improbable, circumstances that
   the rate of occurrence of errors, even on a 10Gbs Fibre Channel
   interface, might wrap faster than an hour, the fact that errors are
   occurring will almost certainly be apparent from other MIB objects.)

12.2.12.  Obsolete/Little-Used Fibre Channel Features

   Information relating to Fibre Channel features that are obsolete or
   not widely-implemented has been deleted.  (For more information, see
   section 6.2.1 and section 6.2.2 of [FC-MI].)





RFC 4044              Fibre Channel Management MIB              May 2005


      -  Class 1 service,
      -  Intermix Mode,
      -  Stacked Conn Mode.
      -  PH version numbers

   Note that with support for Class 1 service being deleted, only class
   2 now needs F_BSY, F_RJT, P_BSY, and P_RJT counters, and thus they no
   longer need to be counted for all classes as well as for class 2, and
   therefore the following objects have been deleted:

      connUnitPortStatCountFBSYFrames
      connUnitPortStatCountPBSYFrames
      connUnitPortStatCountFRJTFrames
      connUnitPortStatCountPRJTFrames

12.3.  Name Server Objects

   A table of Name Server information was present in
   the Fibre Channel Management Integration MIB [MIB-FA].
   That information is not currently represented in this MIB
   because this MIB is already quite large,
   and a set of Name Server objects are expected to be
   defined in a separate (new) MIB.

12.4.  Additional Objects

   Support for Class F traffic, including 32-bit octet and frame
   counters, has been added.

13.  Comparison to RFC 2837

   This MIB is a superset of RFC 2837, except for the following:

   -  the fcFeClass1AccountingGroup group is obsolete,

   -  fcFxPortConnectedNxPort, fcFxPortFcphVersionHigh,
      fcFxPortFcphVersionLow, fcFxPortFcphVersionAgreed,
      fcFxPortStackedConnModeAgreed, fcFxPortIntermixSuppAgreed,
      fcFxPortCapStackedConnMode, and fcFxPortCapIntermix are obsolete,

   -  fcFxPortBbCredit and fcFxPortRxBufSize are per attached Nx_Port,

   -  fcFxPortBbCreditAvailable is ephemeral,

   -  fcFeModuleTable is mostly contained in the entPhysicalTable,

   -  fcFxPortPhysAdminStatus, fcFxPortPhysOperStatus, and
      fcFxPortPhysLastChange have equivalents in the ifTable.
