What is fcmPortCapProtocols?

This bitmask reports the higher-level protocols (loop, fabric, SCSI, TCP/IP, VI, FICON) this Fibre Channel port is capable of carrying; for generic Fx_Ports, E_Ports, and B_Ports it typically shows all protocols supported. An admin checks this during SAN design to confirm a port can carry FICON alongside SCSI before provisioning a mainframe-attached storage path.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.56.1.3.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FC-MGMT-MIB::fcmPortCapProtocols

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.56.1.3.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FC-MGMT-MIB::fcmPortCapProtocols.1
