Description: The physical interface for this CA. When the value is cable(1), the CA supports a cable connector physical interface. This physical attach point is defined for use with copper cables. When the value is fiber(2), the CA supports a fiber connector physical interface. This physical attach point is defined for use with optical cables. When the value is backplane(3), the CA supports a backplane connector physical interface. This physical attach point is defined for accepting a specified form factor that houses the channel adapter.

What is ibCaPhysicalInterface?

Identifies the physical connector type of this port: cable, fiber, or backplane, which an admin needs to know before planning cabling or replacing a failed link.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.4.1.3.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IB-CA-MIB::ibCaPhysicalInterface

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.4.1.3.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IB-CA-MIB::ibCaPhysicalInterface.1
