ibCaType
Module: IB-CA-MIB
OID (symbolic): IB-CA-MIB::ibCaType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.117.4.1.1.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: Type of Channel Adapter: either a Host Channel Adapter (HCA), or a Target Channel Adapter (TCA). The key difference between an HCA and a TCA is that the HCA supports the IBA Verbs layer, while the TCA uses an implementation dependent interface to the transport layer. If the type of CA cannot be determined, the unknown(1) value is returned.
What is ibCaType?
Identifies whether this InfiniBand Channel Adapter is a Host CA (supports the IBA Verbs layer) or a Target CA (uses a vendor-specific transport interface), or unknown if the agent can't determine it, useful when an admin needs to know what kind of adapter they're looking at in a mixed fabric.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.4.1.1.1.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IB-CA-MIB::ibCaType
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.117.4.1.1.1.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IB-CA-MIB::ibCaType.1
