mlxIBCAType
Module: MELLANOX-EFM-MIB
OID (symbolic): MELLANOX-EFM-MIB::mlxIBCAType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.33049.2.5.1.2.1.18
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 a 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 mlxIBCAType?
Read-only enum classifying this Channel Adapter as unknown(1), hca(2) (supports the full IBA Verbs layer), or tca(3) (uses an implementation-specific transport interface). Helps an admin understand what software interface model this specific adapter uses.
