Module: FC-MGMT-MIB

OID (symbolic): FC-MGMT-MIB::fcmInstanceFabricId

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.56.1.1.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: FcNameIdOrZero

Access: read-only

Description: The globally unique Fabric Identifier that identifies the fabric to which the Fibre Channel entity/entities managed by this management instance are connected, or, of which they are a part. This is typically the Node WWN of the principal switch of a Fibre Channel fabric. The zero-length string indicates that the fabric identifier is unknown (or not applicable).

In the event that the Fibre Channel entity/entities managed by this management instance is/are connected to multiple fabrics, then this object records the first (known) one.

What is fcmInstanceFabricId?

This is the globally unique Fabric Identifier (typically the principal switch's Node WWN) of the fabric this management instance's Fibre Channel entities belong to, or a zero-length string if unknown. An admin uses it to confirm which SAN fabric a given switch or HBA is actually attached to when multiple fabrics are in play.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.56.1.1.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FC-MGMT-MIB::fcmInstanceFabricId

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.56.1.1.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FC-MGMT-MIB::fcmInstanceFabricId.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> fcmInstanceFabricId.1
