Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects for information related
to the Fabric Configuration Server function of a Fibre Channel
network.

RFC 4935 Fabric Configuration Server MIB August 2007
1. 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 describes managed objects for information related
to a Fibre Channel network's Fabric Configuration Server function,
which provides a means by which a management application can discover
Fibre Channel fabric topology and attributes. Discovered topology
includes Interconnect Elements (i.e., switches, hubs, bridges, etc.)
and their ports, as well as "platforms" that consist of one or more
Fibre Channel nodes.
This memo was previously approved by INternational Committee for
Information Technology Standards (INCITS) Task Group T11.5
(http://www.t11.org); this document is a product of the IETF's IMSS
working group.
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 BCP 14, 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].
