What is ibSmaNodeType?

Identifies what kind of InfiniBand device this SMA instruments: channelAdapter, switch, or router. This is one of the first things to check when inventorying fabric devices via SNMP, since it determines which other tables (e.g. switch-only forwarding tables) will be populated.
