Unsigned32 (1..4294967295)

An arbitrary integer value that uniquely identifies this Name Server Information Subset amongst all others within the same Fibre Channel management instance. It is mandatory to keep this value constant between restarts of the agent and to make every possible effort to keep it constant across such restarts.

Unsigned32

The value of this object is zero when operations upon this Name Server Information Subset do not occur at a local Fibre Channel switch; otherwise, it is non-zero and identifies the local switch. The switch identified by a non-zero value of this object is the same switch as is identified by the same value of fcmSwitchIndex. ⓘ

TimeStampThe value of the sysUpTime object at which a specific occurrence happened. The specific occurrence must be defined in the description of any object defined using this type. If sysUpTime is reset to zero as a result of a re- initialization of the network management (sub)system, then the values of all TimeStamp objects are also reset. However, after approximately 497 days without a re- initialization, the sysUpTime object will reach 2^^32-1 and then increment around to zero; in this case, existing values of TimeStamp objects do not change. This can lead to ambiguities in the value of TimeStamp objects. · TimeTicks

The value of sysUpTime at the time of the last update to any entry in the t11NsRegTable with the same values of fcmInstanceIndex and t11NsInfoSubsetIndex. This includes creation of an entry, deletion of an entry, or modification of an existing entry. If no such update has taken place since the last re-initialization of the local network management subsystem, then this object contains a zero value.

Integer32 (0..2147483647)

The number of Nx_Ports currently registered in this Name Server Information Subset, i.e., the number of rows in the t11NsRegTable with the same values of fcmInstanceIndex and t11NsInfoSubsetIndex.

Counter32

The total number of (CT_IU) Requests for Name Server functions that were rejected for inclusion in this Name Server Information Subset, across all Fabrics for which it contains information. This counter has no discontinuities other than those that all Counter32s have when sysUpTime=0.

TruthValue1 = true2 = falseRepresents a boolean value. · Integer32

This object indicates whether 't11NsRejectRegNotify' notifications are generated by rejections of requests to register information in this Name Server Information Subset. If value of this object is 'true', then the notification is generated when a request is rejected. If it is 'false', the notification is not generated. The persistence of values of this object across an agent reboot is implementation-dependent.

T11FabricIndexA Fabric Index that is used as a unique index value to identify a particular Fabric within one (or more) physical infrastructures. In an environment that is conformant to FC-SW-3, where there is always exactly one Fabric in a single physical infrastructure, the value of this Fabric Index will always be 1. However, the current standard, FC-SW-4, defines how multiple Fabrics, each with its own management instrumentation, could operate within one (or more) physical infrastructures. When such multiple Fabrics are in use, this index value is used to uniquely identify a particular Fabric within a physical infrastructure. Note that the value of this textual convention has a range of (0..4095) so as to be consistent with FC-SW-4, which says that a 'VF_ID Bitmap' is 512 bytes long, with the high-order bit representing VF_ID zero, and the low-order bit representing 4095.Reference: Fibre Channel - Switch Fabric - 4 (FC-SW-4), ANSI INCITS 418-2006, section 6.1.27.2.4. (0..4095) · Unsigned32 · hint d

A unique index value that uniquely identifies a particular Fabric. In a Fabric conformant to SW-3, only a single Fabric can operate within a single physical infrastructure, and thus, the value of this Fabric Index will always be 1. However, it is possible that future standards will define how multiple Fabrics, each with its own management instrumentation, could operate within one (or more) physical infrastructures. To allow for this future possibility, this index value is used to uniquely identify a particular Fabric within a physical infrastructure.

FcAddressIdOrZeroA Fibre Channel Address ID, a 24-bit value unique within the address space of a Fabric. The zero-length string value is used in circumstances in which the WWN is unassigned/unknown. SIZE (0 | 3) · OCTET STRING

The Fibre Channel Address Identifier of this Nx_Port. If no Port Identifier has been registered, then the value of this object is the zero-length string.

FcNameIdOrZeroThe World Wide Name (WWN) associated with a Fibre Channel (FC) entity. WWNs were initially defined as 64-bits in length. The latest definition (for future use) is 128-bits long. The zero-length string value is used in circumstances in which the WWN is unassigned/unknown. SIZE (0 | 8 | 16) · OCTET STRING

FcClassesA set of Fibre Channel classes of service.Reference: Classes of service are described in FC-FS Section 13. · BITS

The class of service indicator. This object is an array of bits that contain a bit map of the classes of service supported by the associated port. If a bit in this object is 1, it indicates that the class of service is supported by the associated port. When a bit is set to 0, it indicates that no class of service is supported by this Nx_Port. If this object has not been not registered for a port, then the instance for that port is not instantiated.

OCTET STRING SIZE (0 | 16)

The IP address of the node of this Nx_Port, in network-byte order, either as a 32-bit IPv4 address or a 128-bit IPv6 address. For the former, the leftmost 96 bits (12 bytes) should contain x'00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF', and the IPv4 address should be present in the rightmost 32 bits. Note that the value of this object is the IP address value that is received in the FC-GS-4 message Register IP address (Node) RIP_NN. It is not validated against any IP address format. If no 'IP address (Node)' has been registered, then the value of this object is the zero-length string. ⓘ

OCTET STRING SIZE (0 | 8)

The Fibre Channel Initial Process Associator (IPA). If no 'Initial Process Associator' has been registered, then the value of this object is the zero-length string. ⓘ

OCTET STRING SIZE (0 | 32)

The FC-4 protocol types supported by this Nx_Port. This is an array of 256 bits. Each bit in the array corresponds to a Type value as defined by Fibre Channel standards and contained in the Type field of the frame header. The order of the bits in the 256-bit (32-byte) value is the same as defined in FC-GS-4, section 5.2.3.8, and represented in network-byte order. If no 'FC-4 TYPEs' has been registered, then the value of this object is the zero-length string. ⓘ

FcPortTypeThe type of a Fibre Channel port, as indicated by the use of the appropriate value assigned by IANA.Reference: The IANA-maintained registry for Fibre Channel port types (http://www.iana.org/). · Unsigned32

The port type of this port. If no 'Port Type' has been registered, then the value of this object is unidentified and is represented by the value 'unknown'.

OCTET STRING SIZE (0 | 16)

The value that Fibre Channel calls an 'IP Address (Port)' that represents the IP address of the associated port. The value is either in 32-bit IPv4 format or 128-bit IPv6 format, in network-byte order. When this object contains an IPv4 address, the leftmost 96 bits (12 bytes) should contain x'00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF'. The IPv4 address should be present in the rightmost 32 bits. Note that the value of this object is the IP address value that is received in the FC-GS-4 message Register IP address (Port) RIPP_ID. It is not validated against any IP address format. If no 'IP address (Port)' has been registered, then the value of this object is the zero-length string. ⓘ

FcNameIdOrZeroThe World Wide Name (WWN) associated with a Fibre Channel (FC) entity. WWNs were initially defined as 64-bits in length. The latest definition (for future use) is 128-bits long. The zero-length string value is used in circumstances in which the WWN is unassigned/unknown. SIZE (0 | 8 | 16) · OCTET STRING

The Fabric Port Name (WWN) of the Fx_Port to which this Nx_Port is attached. If no 'Fabric Port Name' has been registered, then the value of this object is the zero-length string.

FcAddressIdOrZeroA Fibre Channel Address ID, a 24-bit value unique within the address space of a Fabric. The zero-length string value is used in circumstances in which the WWN is unassigned/unknown. SIZE (0 | 3) · OCTET STRING

The format of this object is identical to the format of Hard Address defined in the Discover Address (ADISC) Extended Link Service (FC-FS). Hard Address is the 24-bit NL_Port identifier that consists of: - the 8-bit Domain_ID in the most significant byte - the 8-bit Area_ID in the next most significant byte - the 8-bit AL-PA (Arbitrated Loop Physical Address) which an NL_Port attempts acquire during FC-AL initialization in the least significant byte. If the port is not an NL_Port, or if it is an NL_Port but does not have a hard address, then all bits are reported as zeros. If no 'Hard Address' has been registered, then the value of this object is the zero-length string.

SnmpAdminStringAn octet string containing administrative information, preferably in human-readable form. To facilitate internationalization, this information is represented using the ISO/IEC IS 10646-1 character set, encoded as an octet string using the UTF-8 transformation format described in [RFC2279]. Since additional code points are added by amendments to the 10646 standard from time to time, implementations must be prepared to encounter any code point from 0x00000000 to 0x7fffffff. Byte sequences that do not correspond to the valid UTF-8 encoding of a code point or are outside this range are prohibited. The use of control codes should be avoided. When it is necessary to represent a newline, the control code sequence CR LF should be used. The use of leading or trailing white space should be avoided. For code points not directly supported by user interface hardware or software, an alternative means of entry and display, such as hexadecimal, may be provided. For information encoded in 7-bit US-ASCII, the UTF-8 encoding is identical to the US-ASCII encoding. UTF-8 may require multiple bytes to represent a single character / code point; thus the length of this object in octets may be different from the number of characters encoded. Similarly, size constraints refer to the number of encoded octets, not the number of characters represented by an encoding. Note that when this TC is used for an object that is used or envisioned to be used as an index, then a SIZE restriction MUST be specified so that the number of sub-identifiers for any object instance does not exceed the limit of 128, as defined by [RFC3416]. Note that the size of an SnmpAdminString object is measured in octets, not characters. SIZE (0..255) · OCTET STRING · hint 255t

The user-defined name of this port. If no 'Symbolic Port Name' has been registered, then the value of this object is the zero-length string.

OCTET STRING SIZE (0 | 128)

The FC-4 Features associated with FC-4 Types on this port encoded as a 128-byte value in network-byte order, or the zero-length string if no 'FC-4 Features' have been registered. Section 5.2.3.15 of FC-GS-4 is the authoritative definition of the format of the 128-byte value, i.e., if different, FC-GS-4 takes precedence over the following description: The 128-byte value is an array of 4-bit values, one for each FC-4 Type value, positioned as follows: the 5 most significant bits of a Type value identify where it appears within the 128-byte value, specifically, within which word: - Word 0 (of the 128-byte value) contains information related to Types '00' through '07'; - Word 1 contains information related to Types '08' through 0F'; - and so forth, up to Word 31, which contains information related to Types 'F8' through 'FF'. The least significant of the eight 4-bit values in each Word represents an FC-4 Type with 000 as its 3 least significant bits, and most significant 4-bit value in each Word represents an FC-4 Type with 111 as its 3 least significant bits. ⓘ

Unsigned32 (0..255)

An integer value that identifies an FC-4 Type value (representing a particular protocol type, as specified in FC-FS) for which an FC-4 Descriptor has been registered. An instance of this object contains a 'Type value' that corresponds to a '1' bit in the value of the t11NsRegFc4Type registered for the same port; this correspondence is as specified in FC-GS-4. ⓘ

OCTET STRING SIZE (0..255)

The FC-4 Descriptor value that has been registered for the particular port on the particular Fabric, and for the FC-4 Type represented by the corresponding value of t11NsRegFc4TypeIndex. The format of an FC-4 Descriptor is dependent on the corresponding FC-4 Type value, but is represented in network-byte order. ⓘ
