What Is IB-TC-MIB?
IB-TC-MIB is an IETF-standardized (RFC) textual-conventions module that defines shared SNMP data types for managing InfiniBand devices supporting the IP-over-InfiniBand (IPoIB) protocol, such as link-width, link-speed, and port-state enumerations. It is vendor-neutral and does not itself expose any runtime tables or counters -- its sole purpose is to standardize how other InfiniBand MIBs represent values like negotiated link speed or port operational state. It therefore has no direct hardware/software status objects of its own, though the conventions it defines (e.g. port-state enumerations) are precisely what downstream InfiniBand MIBs use to report port up/down and link-degraded conditions. It is a foundational dependency for any full InfiniBand management MIB (such as an IB port or subnet-management MIB), which simply imports the IB-TC-MIB module by name to obtain these consistent type definitions. It is used wherever InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters are managed via SNMP in high-performance computing and data center fabrics.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in IB-TC-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB (IETF); applies to InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters (HCAs)
Monitoring Examples
This module defines only textual conventions (link width, speed, and port-state enumerations); it has no runtime tables to poll directly, though other InfiniBand MIBs that import these types use them to represent live port speed/width/state values.
