Description: T11-IETF-IMSS-FC-VIRTUAL-FABRIC-MIB module

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.

What Is T11-IETF-IMSS-FC-VIRTUAL-FABRIC-MIB?

T11-IETF-IMSS-FC-VIRTUAL-FABRIC-MIB is a vendor-neutral T11/IETF standards module defining management information for Fibre Channel Virtual Fabrics, where a physical fabric of switches, links, and N_Ports is partitioned into independent virtual fabrics each with its own management domain and fabric services. No sample objects were extracted from the source, so the specific runtime tables cannot be confirmed, but conceptually such a module would expose virtual fabric identity, membership, and per-VF status information. Its intended use is monitoring the software-defined partitioning of a physical SAN fabric: tracking which virtual fabric a given switch, link, or port belongs to and whether each virtual fabric's independent fabric services are operating correctly, which relates to configuration/status monitoring more than raw hardware health. As an IETF/T11 module it depends on the broader Fibre Channel Virtual Fabric architecture and related FC-GS/FC-SW standards for its data model. As a T11-IETF-IMSS-FC-VIRTUAL-FABRIC-MIB reference, it applies broadly to enterprise SAN environments using Fibre Channel switches that support Virtual Fabric partitioning for multi-tenant or segmented storage networking.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in T11-IETF-IMSS-FC-VIRTUAL-FABRIC-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 (T11/IETF) MIB, applies to Fibre Channel switches supporting Virtual Fabrics

Monitoring Examples

No object names were extracted for this module in the provided source, so a concrete polling scenario referencing real table/object names cannot be honestly given here; conceptually it would be used to confirm virtual fabric membership and independent service status per partition, but the specific objects are not available from this source.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
t11FcVirtualFabricMIB	1.3.6.1.2.1.0			This module defines management information specific to Fibre Channel Virtual Fabrics. A Virtual Fabric is a Fabric composed of partitions of switches, links and N_Ports with a single Fabric management domain, Fabric Services and independence from other Virtual Fabrics. Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2005). This version of this MIB module is part of RFC yyyy; see the RFC itself for full legal notices.
t11vfObjects	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1
t11vfCoreSwitchTable	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.1		not-accessible	A table of core switches supported by the current management entity.
t11vfCoreSwitchEntry	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.1.1		not-accessible	Each entry represents one core switch.
FCN t11vfCoreSwitchSwitchName	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.1.1.1	FcNameIdOrZero	not-accessible	The Core Switch_Name (WWN) of this Core Switch. A zero-length string for this field is not allowed.
U32 t11vfCoreSwitchMaxSupported	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.1.1.2	Unsigned32	read-write	In switches that do not support Virtual Fabrics, this object has the value of 1. If Virtual Fabrics are supported, this object is the maximum number of Virtual Fabrics supported by the Core Switch. For the purpose of this count, the Control VF_ID is ignored.
t11vfVirtualSwitchTable	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.2		not-accessible	A table of Virtual Switches. When one Core Switch provides switching functions for multiple Virtual Fabrics, that Core Switch is modeled as containing multiple Virtual Switches, one for each Virtual Fabric. This table contains one row for every Virtual Switch on every Core Switch. This table augments the basic switch information in the fcmSwitchTable Table in the FCMGMT-MIB.
t11vfVirtualSwitchEntry	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.2.1		not-accessible	An entry of the Virtual Switch table. Each row is for a Virtual Switch.
T11 t11vfVirtualSwitchVfId	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.2.1.1	T11FabricIndex	read-create	The VF_ID of the Virtual Fabric for which this virtual switch performs its switching function. The Control VF_ID is implicitly enabled and is not set. Communication with the Control VF_ID is required.
FCN t11vfVirtualSwitchCoreSwitchName	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.2.1.2	FcNameIdOrZero	read-only	The Core Switch_Name (WWN) of the Core Switch that contains this Virtual Switch.
ROW t11vfVirtualSwitchRowStatus	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.2.1.3	RowStatus	read-create	The status of this row.

The Port VF_ID is the default Virtual Fabric that is assigned to untagged frames arriving at this Port. The Control VF_ID is implicitly enabled and is not set. Communication with the Control VF_ID is required.
INT t11vfPortTaggingAdminStatus	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.3.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	This object is used to configure the administrative status of Virtual Fabric tagging on this Port. SET operation Description -------------- ------------------------------------------- off(1) To disable Virtual Fabric tagging on this Port. on(2) To enable Virtual Fabric tagging on this Port if the attached Port doesn't prohibit it. auto(3) To enable Virtual Fabric tagging if the peer requests it.
INT t11vfPortTaggingOperStatus	1.3.6.1.2.1.0.1.3.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	This object is used to report the operational status of Virtual Fabric tagging on this Port.
