IP Over Infini Band IPo IB Working Group

IP Over Infini. Band (IPo. IB) Working Group Management Information Bases 61 st IETF Washington D. C. Sean Harnedy Mangrove Systems, Inc. sharnedy@mangrovesystems. com

IP Over Infini. Band (IPOIB) MIBs The IPOIB working group charter states that the group will specify a set of MIB objects to allow management of the Infini. Band fabric itself. The IPOIB Working Group web site is: http: //www. ietf. org/html. charters/ipoib-charter. html

IPOIB MIBs (continued) There are seven IPOIB MIBs currently defined in the WG: 1. IPOIB Textual Conventions MIB Definition of Textual Conventions and OBJECT-IDENTITIES for IP Over Infini. Band (IPOVERIB) Management 2. IPOIB Infini. Band Interfaces MIB Definitions of Managed Objects for Infini. Band Interface Type 3. IPOIB Subnet Management Agent MIB Definitions of Managed Objects for the Infiniband Subnet Management Agent (SMA)

IPOIB MIBs (continued) 4. IPOIB Channel Adapter MIB Definitions of Managed Objects for Infini. Band Channel Adapters (CA) 5. IPOIB Baseboard Management Agent MIB Definitions of Managed Objects for the Infini. Band Baseboard Management Agent (BMA) 6. IPOIB Performance Management Agent MIB Definitions of Managed Objects for the Infini. Band Performance Management Agent (PMA) 7. IPOIB Subnet Manager MIB Definitions of Managed Objects for the Infini. Band Subnet Manager

Textual Conventions MIB Describes the Textual Conventions and OBJECTIDENTITIES for IPOIB SNMP management. • The purpose of this MIB is to create a common repository for the IPOIB Textual Conventions. • Defines infiniband. MIB anchor node as { experimental 117}. 117 • Currently contains 10 TEXTUAL-CONVENTION macros. Current I-D: draft-ietf-ipoib-ibmib-tc-mib-06. txt Expires: April 2005

Infini. Band Interfaces MIB Describes the managed objects for managing IBA-defined Infini. Band interfaces. • The purpose of this MIB is to augment the standard SNMP Interface MIB (RFC 2863). • Defines standard Infini. Band port if. Type as infiniband(199). • It contains an Infini. Band Port statistics table, a Virtual Lane Traffic Table for each port’s VLs, and a table for the IPOIB Link layer addresses (20 -octet value that uniquely identifies each IPOIB client end-point, i. e. , QPN + GID). Current I-D: draft-ietf-ipoib-ibif-mib-07. txt Expires: April 2005

Subnet Management Agent MIB Describes the objects for managing Infini. Band Subnet Management Agents (SMA). • The purpose of this MIB is to define the objects necessary to manage the SMA resident on the managed node. • It contains information about the Node, Switch, GUIDs, IB Management and Data ports, P Keys, SL to VL mapping, linear, multicast, and random forwarding, Subnet Manager, vendor diagnostics, LEDs, and SMA traps. Current I-D: draft-ietf-ipoib-subnet-mgmt-agent-mib-07. txt Expires: April 2005

Channel Adapters MIB Describes the objects for managing the Infini. Band Channel Adapters. • The purpose of this MIB is to define the objects necessary to manage Channel Adapters (HCAs and TCAs). • This includes general CA information, CA attributes, CA port attributes, and the associated CA port GID info. • Version – 03 model added multiple CAs per managed node. Current I-D: draft-ietf-ipoib-channel-adapter-mib-06. txt Expired: April 2005

Baseboard Management MIB Describes the objects for managing the Infini. Band Baseboard Management Agents (BMA). • The purpose of this MIB is define the objects necessary to manage a BMA resident on the managed node. • Distinguishes between Module, Non-Module, and Managed Chassis BMAs. • Includes information on the Baseboard Management Unit, the B Key group, and the Vital Product Data (VPD) group. (Mainly derived from IBTA Vol. 2; Chapter 13: Hardware Management). Current I-D: Expired: draft-ietf-ipoib-baseboard-mgmt-agent-mib-02. txt April 2005

Performance Management Agent MIB Describes the objects for managing Infini. Band Performance Management Agents (PMA). • The purpose of this MIB is to define objects to manage each PMA on the managed node and to expose the sample counters to external SNMP management applications. • Models both mandatory and optional running and sample counters. • Issues with initial version: SYNTAX of counters, SNMP vs. IB counter behavior, interaction of SNMP agent with Performance Manager and PMA, API to PM, others. Current I-D: draft-ietf-ipoib-perf-mgmt-agent-mib-03. txt Expired: April 2005

Subnet Manager MIB • Describes the objects for managing Infini. Band Subnet Managers Current I-D: draft-ietf-ipoib-sm-mib-00. txt Current status: Expired

Current IPOIB MIB Status New boilerplates added for TC, IBIF, SMA, CA, PMA, and SMA MIBS. Minor edits as needed. Intellectual Property notices have been updated. The latest Full Copyright Statements have been added. All “nits” revealed from the idnits script (version 1. 44) were resolved (spacing, hyphenation, etc. ). BMA needs to be updated to new 1. 1 IBTA Specification. Subnet Manager MIB has expired. It needs to be updated and resubmitted to the Internet Drafts editor. Gauge interest for this work effort. Gather implementation experience about any of the IPOIB MIBs. Send comments to mailing list please (ipoverib@ietf. org).
