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]. + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. + + + + + + + +Venkatesen Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 6173 iFCP MIB March 2011 + + +2. Introduction + + iFCP (RFC 4172 [RFC4172]) provides Fibre Channel fabric functionality + on an IP network in which TCP/IP switching and routing elements + replace Fibre Channel components. iFCP is used between iFCP + gateways.

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 high-capacity (Counter64) and low- + capacity (Counter32) methods. + + The following MIB module imports from 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], ENTITY-MIB (v3) [RFC4133], and RMON2-MIB + [RFC4502]. + +4. Differences from RFC 4369 + + As explained in [RFC6172], the iFCP address translation mode is + deprecated. This document obsoletes the iFCP MIB module [RFC4369] + for this change. + + + + + + + + + + +Venkatesen Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 6173 iFCP MIB March 2011 + + +5.
