Introduction This document defines a MIB for InfiniBand Channel Adapters (CA). The InfiniBand Architecture [INFINIV1] (IBA) is defined by the InfiniBand Trade Association. InfiniBand is designed to provide low latency, high bandwidth interconnect in a computing environment. This document will define the objects related to managing a specific class of InfiniBand nodes called Channel Adapters. A Channel Adapter (CA) is the end-point for IBA packets that are sent and received over the IBA switching fabric. There are two types of CAs: Host Channel Adapters (HCA) and Target Channel Adapters (TCA). Typically, HCAs are used by host processors and TCAs are used by I/O adapters to connect to the IBA switch fabric. The HCA supports the IBA Verbs layer as the transport layer interface, while the TCA often uses its own implementation-specific interface to the transport layer. 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 [RFC2119]. 2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410]. Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580]. 3. Structure of the MIB This section describes the structure of the IPOIB CA MIB. 3.1. Overview The SNMP management of the CA involves the monitoring of key channel adapter attributes. 3.2. Discussion of MIB Groups The CA MIB is divided into two basic groups: MIB objects and the Expires April 2005 [Page 3] Internet-Draft IPOVERIB CA MIB Module October 2004 conformance group. 3.3. The CA MIB Objects The CA MIB objects correlate to the set of Channel Adapter attributes. These attributes are organized into three major CA MIB groups. These are: the General Channel Adapter Info Group, the Channel Adapter Attributes Info Group, and the Channel Adapter Port Attributes and Gid Info Group. 3.3.1. The General Channel Adapter Info Group This group provides general information common to any InfiniBand network entity that contains CAs. This includes distinguishing between the HCA and the TCA, displaying the node GUIDs, and showing the number of ports on each CA. 3.3.2. The Channel Adapter Attributes Info Group This group provides more specific information about the CAs on a network entity. This includes various attribute flags, transport service support, and other CA characteristics. 3.3.3. The Channel Adapter Port Attributes and Gid Info Group This group provides information about the CA ports. This includes the type of physical interfaces supported, other port attributes, and a table containing the port GIDs. 3.4. The CA Conformance Group The CA Conformance Group lists the possible compliances for various types of InfiniBand nodes that contain channel adapters. Currently, two types of compliance are defined: basic and full. The units of conformance which define the constituent object groups are also listed. 3.4.1. CA Compliance Groups The Compliance Groups list acceptable MIB implementation requirements. 4.

Security Considerations This memo defines textual conventions and object identities for use in IPOVERIB MIB modules. Security issues for these MIB modules are addressed in the memos defining those modules. Because this memo does not define management objects, the memo has no impact on the security of the Internet. 6. IANA Considerations IANA is requested to make a MIB OID assignment under the transmission branch, that is, assign the infinibandMIB under { transmission 199 }. This sub-id is requested because 199 is the ifType for infiniband(199) and is available under transmission. In the future, IPOIB related standards track MIB modules should be rooted under the infinibandMIB subtree. The IANA is requested to Expires April 2005 [Page 18] Internet-Draft IPOVERIB CA MIB Module October 2004 manage that namespace. New assignments can only be made via a Standards Action as specified in [RFC2434]. This document also requests IANA to assign { infinibandMIB 4 } to the IB-CA-MIB specified in this document. 7.
