INFINIBAND-MIB

Description: Manages InfiniBand fabric topology and link performance statistics per IETF standards.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

INFINIBAND-MIB is an IETF-standard, vendor-neutral MIB module defining managed objects and textual conventions for managing InfiniBand fabric devices, the high-speed interconnect technology commonly used in HPC clusters and storage area networks. Although no sample objects were available for this module, standards-track InfiniBand MIBs of this kind typically cover fabric topology (nodes, ports, links), per-port link state and speed/width, and performance/error counters for the InfiniBand switch fabric. It would generally be used for monitoring hardware link status (port up/down, negotiated link speed/width) and fault conditions (symbol errors, link downed counts) on InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters rather than general-purpose CPU/memory metrics. As an IETF standards MIB it aligns with and complements other IETF network-management standards for interconnect fabrics. It is typically deployed in high-performance computing clusters, storage fabrics, and data centers using InfiniBand as a low-latency interconnect, with the INFINIBAND-MIB RFC defining the standard object set implemented across these vendor-neutral deployments.

Without confirmed sample objects for this module, a specific object-level monitoring scenario cannot be described; in general, an InfiniBand fabric manager would poll per-port tables for link state, speed, and error counters to detect a degraded or down inter-switch link, but no concrete table/object names can be verified from the available data.

Defined in RFC 4246; manages InfiniBand subnet management, port status, and performance counters.
