Abstract This memo describes Textual Conventions and OBJECT-IDENTITIES used for managing IPOVERIB networks. 2. Introduction This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it defines Textual Conventions used in IETF IPOVERIB and IPOVERIB-related MIBs. Comments should be made directly to the IPOVERIB mailing list at ipoverib@ietf.org. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119, reference [RFC2119]. For an introduction to the concepts of InfiniBand, see [INFINIV1]. 3. The SNMP Management Framework The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major components: - An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [RFC2571]. - Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD 16, RFC 1155 [RFC1155], STD 16, RFC 1212 [RFC1212] and RFC 1215 [RFC1215]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580]. - Message protocols for transferring management information. The first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second version of the SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [RFC1901] and RFC 1906 [RFC1906]. The third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [RFC1906], RFC 2572 [RFC2572] and RFC 2574 [RFC2574]. Harnedy Expires May 2002 [Page 2] Internet Draft IPOVERIB TC MIB November 2001 - Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [RFC1905]. - A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [RFC2573] and the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575 [RFC2575]. A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework can be found in RFC 2570 [RFC2570]. Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI. This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the MIB. Harnedy Expires May 2002 [Page 3] Internet Draft IPOVERIB TC MIB November 2001 4.

REVISION "200111131200Z" -- 13 November 2001 12:00:00 GMT DESCRIPTION "Separated TCs from InfiniBand Interface MIB. Added IANA experimental number for MIB. Made TC names more consistent. Added Intellectual Property and Acknowledgment sections." REVISION "200110031200Z" -- 3 October 2001 12:00:00 GMT DESCRIPTION "Initial version of this MIB." ::= { infinibandMIB 1 } -- The IANA has defined the InfiniBand MIB on the experimental branch. infinibandMIB OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { experimental 117 } -- Textual Conventions. -- Note that the InfiniBand Architecture (IBA) Port and Virtual Lane -- TCs are 1-based. Making the port TCs 1-based allows for IBA port -- numbers to possibly parallel ifIndex numbering that is also defined -- to start at 1. Also, if these TCs are used as indexes, the SNMP -- convention is to start the index values at 1. The SNMP responder must -- make appropriate conversions to IBA numbering scheme. IbVirtualLane ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION DISPLAY-HINT "d" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Identifies a Virtual Lane (VL) instance on a given interface (i.e., IBA port). VLs provide a mechanism for creating multiple virtual links within a physical link. IBA defines VL 0 through VL 14 for data and VL 15 exclusively for subnet management. The actual data VLs that a port uses is configured by the Subnet Manager. The default data VL is always VL 0. Remember, the SNMP TC is 1-based."

SYNTAX Integer32 (1..16) IbDataVirtualLane ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION DISPLAY-HINT "d" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Identifies a Data Virtual Lane instance on a given interface (i.e., IB port). This TC definition excludes the management Virtual Lane. The actual data VLs that a port uses is configured by the Subnet Manager. The default data VL is always the first VL (VL 0). Remember, the SNMP TC is 1-based." REFERENCE "InfiniBand Architecture Release 1.0.a Vol 1. [INFINIV1] Section 3.5.7." SYNTAX Integer32 (1..15) IbPort ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION DISPLAY-HINT "d" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Identifies a IBA Port. A port is the location on Channel Adapter or switch to which a link is connected. The IBA defines Port 0 as reserved for forwarding packets to and from the Subnet Management Interface and the General Services Interface. The IBA also defines a maximum of 254 physical ports (for an IBA switch) numbered Port 1 to Port 254. The highest value is used to represent an invalid port identifier.

SYNTAX Integer32 (1..65536) IbGuid ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION DISPLAY-HINT "1x:" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) is a number that uniquely identifies a device or component. It is a compliant EUI-64 identifier for channel adapters, routers, and switches. This 64-bit value is created by concatenating a 24-bit company ID value and a 40-bit extension. The IEEE Registration Authority assigns the company ID. The extension ID is assigned by the particular company. Therefore, each HCA, TCA, switch, and router shall be assigned an EUI-64 GUID by the manufacturer." REFERENCE "InfiniBand Architecture Release 1.0.a Vol 1. [INFINIV1] Section 4.1."
