SNIA Fabric Management MIB

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.

  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.
