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]. + +2. Overview of FCIP Management Model + + Note that the Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP (FCIP) Entity is fully + described in [RFC3821] from a functional point of view. A collection + of multiple instances of FCIP Entities and the corresponding FC + Entities, described in [FCBB2], within an SNMP Context is referred to + as an FCIP device here. This section describes FCIP from a + management point of view. + + +------------------------------------------+ + | FCIP Device | + | | + | +-----------+ +-----------+ | + | |FCIP Entity| |FCIP Entity| | + | | | | | | + | | | | | | + | +--+--+--+--+ +--+--+--+--+ | + | | | | | | | | + | | | | | | | | + | FCIP Links FCIP Links | + | | + +------------------------------------------+ + + The FCIP device provides an IP-based interconnection model for + interconnecting FC fabric elements. In this model, the FCIP devices + along with the IP network on which they are running provide a new + FCIP transport network. + + This IP-based FCIP Interconnection Model supports the following + topology: + + o The FCIP-based transport network is formed by interconnecting the + FCIP devices. + + + +Natarajan & Rijhsinghani Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 4404 FCIP MIB February 2006 + + + o Each FCIP device has one or more FCIP Entities or Instances. + + o Peer FCIP Entities are connected by FCIP Links attached to + VE_ports/B_Access. + + o Each FCIP Link Endpoint contains one or more Data Engines. + + o The FCIP device can work as a stand-alone box or as part of a FC + fabric element. + + Each FCIP Entity managed by this MIB is referred to as an FCIP + Instance. The MIB is broken up as follows: + +2.1. FCIP Entity Instances Table + + The FCIP Entity table contains information about this entity's + existing instances of FCIP entities. + +2.2. FCIP Link Table + + The FCIP link table contains information about this FCIP device's + existing FCIP links. + +2.3. FCIP TCP Connection Table + + The FCIP TCP Connection table contains information about existing TCP + connections. Each FCIP link within an FCIP entity contains one or + more TCP connections. The FCIP entity employs a Data Engine for each + TCP connection for handling FC frame encapsulation, de-encapsulation, + and transmission of FCIP frames on the connection. + +2.4. FCIP Dynamic Route Table + + The FCIP dynamic route table contains routing information that is + dynamically discovered by this FCIP device. The FCIP device may use + the SLPv2 protocol [RFC3822] in conjunction with other protocols, + such as Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF), to dynamically discover + other FCIP entities and populate this table to map destination + domains to FCIP Links. + +2.5. FCIP Static Route Table + + The FCIP static route table contains routing information that is + statically configured into this FCIP device by the Network Admin. In + the absence of dynamic discovery of remote FCIP entities, the Network + Manager can configure remote domains and FCIP Entities that are + reachable by this device into this table. + + + + +Natarajan & Rijhsinghani Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 4404 FCIP MIB February 2006 + + + At any point in time, both the static and dynamic routing tables can + be active. If a DID is present in both tables, information in the + static route table will take precedence over the entry in the dynamic + route table for the same DID. + +2.6. FCIP Discovery Domain Table + + The FCIP Discovery Domain Table maps this device's FCIP Entities into + FCIP Discovery Domains. + +2.7. FCIP Link Error Table + + The FCIP Link Errors Table contains counters that indicate error + conditions on an FCIP Link. + +3. Relationship to Other MIBs + + Objects accessible from other MIB modules applicable to FCIP devices + have not been included in this MIB module. The following subsections + list all applicable MIB modules that should be present with FCIP- + MGMT-MIB. + +3.1. Relationship to the 'TCP' Group + + This group is mandatory for all systems that implement TCP. Objects + relevant to TCP must be obtained from this group [RFC4022]. + +3.2. Relationship to the 'interfaces' MIB + + The 'interfaces' group is defined as being mandatory for all systems + and contains information on an entity's interfaces. Each + logical/virtual interface created as an FCIP Link should be + represented as a row in the ifTable with a unique ifIndex value and a + value of ifType 'fcipLink' (224) for each such interface. For a + complete list of interface types, refer to the IANA registry at + "http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers". These are the only + ifIndex values of relevance to an FCIP Entity because FCIP runs on + top of TCP/IP. + + FCIP runs over TCP. Thus, by definition, there is no ifTable + interface directly beneath it, and so ifStackLowerLayer is always 0. + For any protocol using FCIP (i.e., above FCIP), FCIP appears to be a + regular FC interface. As stated in [RFC4044], a regular "FC + interface will typically have no other ifTable rows stacked on top of + it", and thus, ifStackHigherLayer is typically zero. + + + + + + +Natarajan & Rijhsinghani Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 4404 FCIP MIB February 2006 + + +3.3. Relationship to the Fibre Channel Management MIB + + The Fibre Channel Management MIB [RFC4044] is assumed for FC + functionality managed objects. + +3.4. Specific Interface Group MIB Objects + + The following table provides specific implementation guidelines for + applying the objects defined in the Interfaces Group MIB to FCIP + Links. For those objects not listed here, refer to their generic + definitions in [RFC2863]. + + Object Guidelines + + ifType 'fcipLink' (224) + + ifSpeed The ifSpeed for the physical interface(s) + over which the FCIP Link runs. + + ifPhysAddress There is no physical address corresponding + to an FCIP Link (only World Wide Name, WWN). + Reported as 0. + + 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 + FCIP Links. + + ifInOctets The number of octets of FCIP information + ifHCInOctets contained in received frames in TCP + streams, starting with FCIP header. + + ifInUcastPkts The number of FCIP frames received + ifHCInUcastPkts on this FCIP Link. + + ifOutOctets The number of octets of FCIP information + ifHCOutOctets contained in transmitted frames in TCP + streams, starting with FCIP header. + + ifOutUcastPkts The number of FCIP frames transmitted + ifHCOutUcastPkts on this FCIP Link. + + + + + + + + +Natarajan & Rijhsinghani Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 4404 FCIP MIB February 2006 + + + ifInMulticastPkts These counters are not incremented. + ifInBroadcastPkts + ifOutMulticastPkts + ifOutBroadcastPkts + ifHCInMulticastPkts + ifHCInBroadcastPkts + ifHCOutMulticastPkts + ifHCOutBroadcastPkts + + ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable Default is 'disabled'. + + ifPromiscuousMode This will be 'false'. + + ifConnectorPresent This will be 'false'. + +4.

Security Considerations + + There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that + have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.

In particular, the + objects which provide information on identification and network + topology: + + fcipDeviceWWN, fcipEntityName, fcipEntityAddress, + fcipLinkLocalFcipEntityAddress, fcipLinkRemFcipEntityWWN, + and fcipLinkRemFcipEntityAddress + -- information on identification; + + fcipDiscoveryDomainName + -- information on discovery domains; + + fcipDynamicRouteLinkIndex + -- information on dynamic routes; + + fcipStaticRouteLinkIndex and fcipStaticRouteStatus + -- information on static routes + + 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 implementers 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.
