CISCO-FCPING-MIB file content

The SNMP protocol is used to for conveying information and commands between agents and managing entities. SNMP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport protocol for passing data between managers and agents. The reasons for using UDP for SNMP are, firstly it has low overheads in comparison to TCP, which uses a 3-way hand shake for connection. Secondly, in congested networks, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea because TCP in order to maintain reliability will flood the network with retransmissions.

Management information (MIB) is represented as a collection of managed objects. These objects together form a virtual information base called MIB. An agent may implement many MIBs, but all agents must implement a particular MIB called MIB-II [16]. This standard defines variables for things such as interface statistics (interface speeds, MTU, octets sent, octets received, etc.) as well as various other things pertaining to the system itself (system location, system contact, etc.). The main goal of MIB-II is to provide general TCP/IP management information.

                 This table contains a set of ping requests

fcPingEntry OBJECT-TYPE

        MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
                "A ping request entry.

                 A management station wishing to create an entry
                 should generate a pseudo-random number to be 
                 used as an index into this table and create an 
                 instance of the fcPingRowStatus object. After that, 
                 the management station should set the corresponding 
                 instance of fcPingAddress object with the address of 
                 the destination that should be pinged and 
                 fcPingVsanIndex with the desired VSAN number.

                 Once the appropriate instance of all the configuration
                 objects have been created, either by an explicit SNMP
                 set request or by default, the row status should be 
                 set to active to initiate the ping sequence. Note that
                 this entire procedure may be initiated via a single
                 set request which specifies a row status of 
                 createAndGo as well as specifies valid values for the 
                 non-defaulted configuration objects. 

                 Once the ping sequence has been initiated it can
                 be stopped by setting the corresponding instance
                 of fcPingRowStatus to 'destroy'.

                 The results of the ping operation are made available
                 in the fcPingStats table. For a ping entry uniquely
                 identified by fcPingIndex, an entry will be created 
                 in the fcPingStats table automatically by the agent. 

                 Once the ping sequence completes, the management 
                 station should retrieve the statistics of interest 
                 from the fcPingStats table and delete the entry from 
                 the fcPingTable. The corresponding entry in the
                 fcPingStats table shall be deleted automatically by 
                 the agent.

                 In order to prevent old entries from clogging the 
                 table, entries will be aged out, but an entry will 
                 never be deleted within fcPingAgeInterval 
                 milliseconds of completing.

                 If the management station wishes to repeat the ping
                 sequence to a particular destination, then it will
                 need to set the corresponding instance of 
                 fcPingAdminStatus to 'enable' again."
