+Abstract
+
+ The iFCP protocol (RFC 4172) provides Fibre Channel fabric
+ functionality on an IP network in which TCP/IP switching and routing
+ elements replace Fibre Channel components. The iFCP protocol is used
+ between iFCP Gateways. This document provides a mechanism to monitor
+ and control iFCP Gateway instances, and their associated sessions,
+ using SNMP.

+1. 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. Introduction
+
+ The iFCP protocol can be used by FC-to-IP-based storage gateways for
+ Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) storage interconnects. Figure 1
+ provides an example of an interconnect between iFCP gateways.

+
+
+ The iFCP MIB Module is designed to allow SNMP to be used to monitor
+ and manage local iFCP gateway instances, including the configuration
+ of iFCP sessions between gateways.
+
+3. Technical Description
+
+ The iFCP MIB Module is divided into sections for iFCP local gateway
+ instance management, iFCP session management, and iFCP session
+ statistics.
+
+ The section for iFCP gateway management provides default settings and
+ information about each local instance. A single management entity
+ can monitor multiple local gateway instances. Each local gateway is
+ conceptually an independent gateway that has both Fibre Channel and
+ IP interfaces. The default IP Time Out Value (IP_TOV) is
+ configurable for each gateway. Other standard MIBs, such as the
+ Fibre Management MIB [RFC4044] or Interfaces Group MIB [RFC2863], can
+ be used to manage non-iFCP-specific gateway parameters. The local
+ gateway instance section provides iFCP-specific information as well
+ as optional links to other standard management MIBs.
+
+ The iFCP session management section provides information on iFCP
+ sessions that use one of the local iFCP gateway instances. This
+ section allows the management of specific iFCP parameters, including
+ changing the IP_TOV from the default setting of the gateway.
+
+ The iFCP session statistics section provides statistical information
+ on the iFCP sessions that use one of the local iFCP gateways. These
+ tables augment the session management table. Additional statistical
+ information for an iFCP gateway or session, that is not
+ iFCP-specific, can be obtained using other standard MIBs. The iFCP
+ statistics are provided in both standard and low-capacity (counter32)
+ methods.
+
+ The following MIB module imports from RMON2-MIB [RFC2021], SNMPv2-SMI
+ [RFC2578], SNMPv2-TC [RFC2579], SNMPv2-CONF [RFC2580], HCNUM-TC
+ [RFC2856], IF-MIB [RFC2863], SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB [RFC3411], INET-
+ ADDRESS-MIB [RFC4001], FC-MGMT-MIB [RFC4044], and ENTITY-MIB (v3)
+ [RFC4133].

+ local iFCP Gateway instance that created the session for the

+
+ Soon after an entry is created in this table for an iFCP session, it
+ will correspond to an entry in the tcpConnectionTable of the TCP-MIB
+ (RFC 4022). The corresponding entry might represent a preexisting
+ TCP connection, or it might be a newly-created entry. (Note that if
+ IPv4 is being used, an entry in RFC 2012's tcpConnTable may also
+ correspond.) The values of ifcpSessionLclPrtlAddrType and
+ ifcpSessionRmtPrtlIfAddrType in this table and the values of
+ tcpConnectionLocalAddressType and tcpConnectionRemAddressType used
+ as INDEX values for the corresponding entry in the
+ tcpConnectionTable should be the same; this makes it simpler to
+ locate a session's TCP connection in the TCP-MIB. (Of course, all
+ four values need to be 'ipv4' if there's a corresponding entry in
+ the tcpConnTable.)
+
+ If an entry is created in this table for a session, prior to
+ knowing which local and/or remote port numbers will be used for
+ the TCP connection, then ifcpSessionLclPrtlTcpPort and/or
+ ifcpSessionRmtPrtlTcpPort have the value zero until such time as
+ they can be updated to the port numbers (to be) used for the
+ connection. (Thus, a port value of zero should not be used to
+ locate a session's TCP connection in the TCP-MIB.)
+
+ When the TCP connection terminates, the entry in the
+ tcpConnectionTable and the entry in this table both get deleted
+ (and, if applicable, so does the entry in the tcpConnTable)."

+
+5. IANA Considerations
+
+ The IANA has made a unique MIB OID assignment under the transmission
+ branch for IFCP-MGMT-MIB.
+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
+ with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such
+ objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
+ environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure
+ environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
+ network operations.
+
+ Changing the following object values, with a MAX-ACCESS of read-
+ write, may cause disruption in storage traffic:
+
+ ifcpLclGtwyInstAddrTransMode
+ ifcpLclGtwyInstFcBrdcstSupport
+ ifcpLclGtwyInstDefaultIpTOV
+ ifcpLclGtwyInstDefaultLTInterval
+ ifcpSessionIpTOV
+
+ Changing the following object value, with a MAX-ACCESS of read-write,
+ may cause a user to lose track of the iFCP gateway:
+
+ ifcpLclGtwyInstDescr
+
+ 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.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Gibbons, et al. Standards Track [Page 25]
+
+RFC 4369 iFCP MIB January 2006
+
+
+ The following object tables provide information about storage traffic
+ sessions, and can indicate to a user who is communicating and
+ exchanging storage data:
+
+ ifcpLclGtwyInstTable
+ ifcpSessionAttributesTable
+
+ 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 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.
