1. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD
16, RFC 1155 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The
second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578
[5], STD 58, RFC 2579 [6] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [7].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and RFC
1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is called
SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and RFC 2574
[12].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol
operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
[13].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
[15].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework
can be found in RFC 2570 [16].
Teow Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2837 FC Fabric Element MIB May 2000
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A
MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable
information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine
readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
MIB.
2. Overview
A Fibre Channel Fabric is an entity which interconnects Node Ports
(N_Ports) or Node Loop Ports (NL_Ports). It provides transport and
routing functions. In essence, a Fabric is a network of N_Ports
and/or NL_Ports to communicate with one another. A Fabric is
composed of one or more Fabric Element that are interconnected via
Inter-element Links (IEL). A Fabric Element is the smallest unit of
a Fabric that meets the definition of a Fabric. It must consist of
at least three external ports to connect to either N_Ports, NL_Ports
or other Fabric Elements. In general, a Fabric Element port may be
of one of the following types:
(1) F_Port, a fabric port to connect to an N_Port ([17], [21], [22]);
(2) FL_Port, a fabric port that also supports a FC Arbitrated Loop
consisting of one or more NL_Ports ([20], [24]).
(3) E_Port, an expansion port to connect to another Fabric Element
([18], [23]);
This memo shall define objects related to a Fabric Element, its
F_Ports and FL_Ports. Objects related to other types of FC ports
shall be defined in future.
For the rest of the document, the term, "FxPort", will be used to
refer to both F_Port and FL_Port where the distinction is not
necessary. The term, "NxPort" will be used to refer to both N_Port
and NL_Port in the similar fashion.

RFC 2837 FC Fabric Element MIB May 2000
2.1. Management View of a Fabric Element
From the management perspective, it is helpful to view a Fabric
Element to be consisting of multiple "modules". Each module is a
grouping, either physical or logical, of one or more ports that may
be managed as a sub-entity within the Fabric Element.
This module mapping is recommended but optional. A vendor may elect
to put all ports into a single module, or to divide the ports into
modules that do not match physical divisions.
The object fcFeModuleCapacity indicates the maximum number of modules
that a given Fabric Element may contain. This value must remain
constant from one management restart to the next.
Each module is uniquely identified by a module number in the range of
1 through fcFeModuleCapacity inclusive. Modules may come and go
without causing a management reset (of sysUpTime), and may be
sparsely numbered within the Fabric Element. That is, the module
numbering is not required to be contiguous. For instance, if a
module is mapped physically to a field-replaceable card and in a 13-
card cage Fabric Element, cards 3, 5, 6 and 7 may be installed. The
vendor may choose to label them as modules 3, 5, 6 and 7
respectively. In this example, the value of fcFeModuleCapacity is
13. Note that the object fcFeModuleLastChange acts as the
discontinuity indicator for all counter objects in this MIB.
A Fabric Element may also provide a proxy management on behalf of
another management entity by presenting it as one of its Fabric
Element modules.
The object fcFeModuleFxPortCapacity indicates the maximum number of
ports that a given module may contain. The value of
fcFeModuleFxPortCapacity must not change for a given module.
However, a module may be deleted from the Fabric Element and replaced
with a module containing a different number of ports. The value of
fcFeModuleLastChange will indicate that a change took place.
Each port within the Fabric Element is uniquely identified by a
combination of module index and port index, where port index is an
integer in the range (1..fcFeModuleFxPortCapacity). As with modules
within a Fabric Element, ports within a module may be sparsely
numbered. That is the port numbering is not required to be
contiguous. Likewise, ports may come and go within a module without
causing a management reset.
Teow Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 2837 FC Fabric Element MIB May 2000
In terms of attachment, an F_Port will be attached to another N_Port;
and an FL_Port will be attached to one or up to 126 NL_Ports. In
general, an FxPort may be attached to one or more NxPorts. Each
NxPort associated with an FxPort will be uniquely identified by a
combination of module index, FxPort index and NxPort index. An
NxPort index is an integer in the range (1..126). The following
diagram illustrates the management view of a Fabric Element.
#=======================================================#
# +----------------- - - - -----------------+ #
# | Module 1 [1] . . . [i] | #
# +----------------- - - - -----------------+ #
# o o o #
# +---------------------- - - - --------+ #
# | Module M [1] . . . [n] | #
# +---------------------- - - - -----^--+ #
#=====================================|=================#
|
One or more NxPorts { [1] . . . [L] }<-+
- - - - - - - - -
where "i", "n", "M" and "L" are some arbitrary sample integer values,
and "L" must be less than 127.
2.2. Structure of the Fabric Element MIB
This memo assumes that a Fabric Element has an SNMP entity associated
with its managed objects. The managed objects are divided as follow:
- the Configuration group
- the Status group
- the Error group
- the Accounting group
- the Capability group
In each group, scalar objects and table entries are defined.
The Configuration group contains configuration and service parameters
for the Fabric Element, modules and the FxPorts.
The Operation group contains the operational status and parameters of
an FxPort. The group also contains the service parameters that have
been established between the FxPort and its attached NxPort, if
applicable.
The Error group contains counters tracking various types of errors
detected by each FxPort. The information may be used for diagnostics
and/or to derive the quality of the link between an FxPort and one or
more attached NxPorts.
Teow Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 2837 FC Fabric Element MIB May 2000
The Accounting group contains statistic data suitable for deriving
accounting and performance information.
The Capability group contains parameters indicating the inherent
capability of the Fabric Element and each FxPort.

4. Security Considerations
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that
have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write. 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.
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. 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.
It is recommended that the implementers consider the security
features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use
of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [12] and the View-based
Access Control Model RFC 2575 [15] is recommended.
Teow Standards Track [Page 43]
RFC 2837 FC Fabric Element MIB May 2000
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly
configured to give access to the objects only to those principals
(users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET
(change/delete) them.
5. Intellectual Property
The IETF takes no position regarding the validity or scope of any
intellectual property or other rights that might be claimed to
pertain to the implementation or use of the technology described in
this document or the extent to which any license under such rights
might or might not be available; neither does it represent that it
has made any effort to identify any such rights. Information on the
IETF's procedures with respect to rights in standards-track and
standards-related documentation can be found in BCP-11. Copies of
claims of rights made available for publication and any assurances of
licenses to be made available, or the result of an attempt made to
obtain a general license or permission for the use of such
proprietary rights by implementors or users of this specification can
