RFC 4983 Fibre Channel RSCN MIB August 20071. 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 Registered State Change Notifications (RSCNs) [FC-LS] in a Fibre Channel network, including which Nx_Ports are registered to receive which types of RSCNs, the control and generation of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications on registration failures, and RSCN-related statistics. 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 inBCP 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 tosection 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. Short Overview of Fibre Channel The Fibre Channel (FC) is logically a bidirectional point-to-point serial data channel, structured for high performance. Fibre Channel provides a general transport vehicle for higher level protocols such as Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) command sets, the High- Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) data framing, IP (Internet Protocol), IEEE 802.2, and others. Physically, Fibre Channel is an interconnection of multiple communication points, called N_Ports, interconnected either by a switching network, called a Fabric, or by a point-to-point link. ADeSanti, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 4983 Fibre Channel RSCN MIB August 2007 Fibre Channel "node" consists of one or more N_Ports. A Fabric may consist of multiple Interconnect Elements, some of which are switches. An N_Port connects to the Fabric via a port on a switch called an F_Port. When multiple FC nodes are connected to a single port on a switch via an "Arbitrated Loop" topology, the switch port is called an FL_Port, and the nodes' ports are called NL_Ports. The term Nx_Port is used to refer to either an N_Port or an NL_Port. The term Fx_Port is used to refer to either an F_Port or an FL_Port. A switch port, which is interconnected to another switch port via an Inter-Switch Link (ISL), is called an E_Port. A B_Port connects a bridge device with an E_Port on a switch; a B_Port provides a subset of E_Port functionality. Many Fibre Channel components, including the fabric, each node, and most ports, have globally unique names. These globally unique names are typically formatted as World Wide Names (WWNs). More information on WWNs can be found in [FC-FS]. WWNs are expected to be persistent across agent and unit resets. Fibre Channel frames contain 24-bit address identifiers that identify the frame's source and destination ports. Each FC port has both an address identifier and a WWN. When a fabric is in use, the FC address identifiers are dynamically assigned by a switch. Each octet of a 24-bit address represents a level in an address hierarchy, with a Domain_ID being the highest level of the hierarchy. Registered State Change Notifications (RSCNs) are defined in [FC-LS] as a means to provide Nx_Ports that have registered to receive such notifications with a timely indication of changes in the state of nodes attached to the fabric. Specifically, an Nx_Port may choose to register, using a State Change Registration (SCR) request [FC-LS] to receive RSCNs. When an event occurs that may affect a registered Nx_Port's port's state, the registered Nx_Port will receive an RSCN. For example, an Nx_Port can use RSCNs as the means by which it is informed of the failures of other nodes, of new devices coming online, or even of more network-accessible storage becoming available. The payload of the RSCN indicates the type of change and includes the address of the changed port. RSCNs are often generated by the fabric, but an Nx_Port can also generate (and send to the fabric) an RSCN if and when it detects an event not visible to the fabric. The sender of an RSCN may coalesce several events into a single RSCN message. Each RSCN is a "request" that is acknowledged by the receiver with an accept or reject. An RSCN is received by an Nx_Port from the Fabric as an Extended Link Service (ELS) request [FC-LS]. The Fabric distributes RSCNs between Switches using an SW_ILS frame with an Inter-Switch RSCN payload, also known as an SW_RSCN [FC-SW-4]. So, when a Switch has directlyDeSanti, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 4983 Fibre Channel RSCN MIB August 2007 attached Nx_Ports that have registered to receive RSCNs, it converts received SW_RSCNs (i.e., SW_ILS frames containing SW_RSCN payloads) into ELS requests containing the corresponding RSCN which it sends to each such Nx_Port. The latest standard for an interconnecting Fabric containing multiple Fabric Switch elements is [FC-SW-4]. [FC-SW-4] carries forward the earlier specification for the operation of a single Fabric in a physical infrastructure, and augments it with the definition of Virtual Fabrics and with the specification of how multiple Virtual Fabrics can operate within one (or more) physical infrastructures. The use of Virtual Fabrics provides for each frame to be tagged in its header to indicate which one of several Virtual Fabrics that frame is being transmitted on. All frames entering a particular "Core Switch" [FC-SW-4] (i.e., a physical switch) on the same Virtual Fabric are processed by the same "Virtual Switch" within that Core Switch.4. Relationship to Other MIBs The first standardized MIB for Fibre Channel [RFC2837] was focused on Fibre Channel switches. It was replaced by the more generic Fibre Channel Management MIB [RFC4044] which defines basic information for Fibre Channel hosts and switches, including extensions to the standard [IF-MIB] for Fibre Channel interfaces. [RFC4044] includes the specification of how the generic objects defined in [IF-MIB] apply to Fibre Channel interfaces. This MIB imports some common Textual Conventions defined in the T11-TC-MIB [RFC4439] and in the T11-FC-NAME-SERVER-MIB [RFC4438].5. MIB Overview This section explains the use of a Fibre Channel management instance, a Switch Index, and a Fabric Index. It also describes the four MIB groups contained in the MIB.5.1. Fibre Channel Management Instance A Fibre Channel management instance is defined in [RFC4044] as a separable managed instance of Fibre Channel functionality. Fibre Channel functionality may be grouped into Fibre Channel management instances in whatever way is most convenient for the implementation(s). For example, one such grouping accommodates a single SNMP agent having multiple AgentX [RFC2741] sub-agents, with each sub-agent implementing a different Fibre Channel management instance.DeSanti, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 4983 Fibre Channel RSCN MIB August 2007 The object, fcmInstanceIndex, is IMPORTed from the FC-MGMT-MIB [RFC4044] as the index value to uniquely identify each Fibre Channel management instance, for example, within the same SNMP context ([RFC3411], section 3.3.1).5.2. Switch Index The FC-MGMT-MIB [RFC4044] defines the fcmSwitchTable as a table of information about Fibre Channel switches which are managed by Fibre Channel management instances. Each Fibre Channel management instance can manage one or more Fibre Channel switches. The Switch Index, fcmSwitchIndex, is IMPORTed from the FC-MGMT-MIB as the index value to uniquely identify a Fibre Channel switch amongst those (one or more) managed by the same Fibre Channel management instance.5.3. Fabric Index Whether operating on a Physical Fabric (i.e., without Virtual Fabrics) or within a Virtual Fabric, the manner of operation of RSCNs within a/each Fabric is identical. Therefore, this MIB defines all Fabric-related information in tables that are INDEXed by an arbitrary integer, named a "Fabric Index", the syntax of which is IMPORTed from the T11-TC-MIB [RFC4439]. When a device is connected to a single Physical Fabric, without use of any Virtual Fabrics, the value of this Fabric Index will always be 1. In an environment of multiple Virtual and/or Physical Fabrics, this index provides a means to distinguish one Fabric from another. It is quite possible, and may even be likely, that a Fibre Channel switch will have ports connected to multiple Virtual and/or Physical Fabrics. Thus, in order to simplify a management protocol query concerning all the Fabrics to which a single switch is connected, fcmSwitchIndex will be listed before t11FcRscnFabricIndex when they both appear in the same INDEX clause.5.4. The t11FcRscnRegistrationGroup Group This group contains information about the Nx_Ports which have registered to receive RSCNs.5.5. The t11FcRscnNotifyGroup Group This group contains two notifications: one generated when a switch rejects an SCR or RSCN; the other when a switch rejects an SW_RSCN.DeSanti, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 4983 Fibre Channel RSCN MIB August 20075.5.1. Flow-Control for Notifications When defining SNMP notifications for events that occur in the data- plane, the maximum frequency of their generation needs to be considered. Unless there is some limiting factor, such notifications need to be flow-controlled in some way, e.g., defined such that after some maximum number within a specified time interval have occurred, further notifications are suppressed for some subsequent time interval. However, when such a suppression occurs, the Network Management System (NMS) that didn't receive the notifications (because they were suppressed) needs to be able to obtain an indication of how many were suppressed. Therefore, an additional Counter32 object needs to be defined, and/or a new type of notification needs to be defined for use at the end of the interval. While this is extra complexity, it is necessary for notifications that need to be flow-controlled. In contrast, for notifications such as both the ones defined in this MIB module, which are generated due to control-plane events (and are not able to start a chain reaction), the extra complexity of flow- controlling these types of notifications is not warranted.5.6. The t11FcRscnNotifyControlGroup Group This group contains one object for each notification in the t11FcRscnNotifyGroup group to enable/disable that notification, as well as three objects that record information about the latest rejection of an SCR, RSCN or SW_RSCN. Specifically, they record the content (if available) of the rejected request, the source of the rejected request, and the reason for the rejection.5.7. The t11FcRscnStatsGroup Group This group contains RSCN-related statistics. Two levels of statistics are included: 1) counters at the message-type level, for: - the number of SCRs received/rejected, - the number of RSCNs sent/received/rejected, - the number of SW_RSCNs sent/received/rejected. 2) counters for each different category of sent/received RSCNs, where different categories are indicated by different values of the 'Event Qualifier' contained in an RSCN message. Note that if and when several RSCN events are coalesced into a single RSCN message, then that message may be counted in more than one of these counters. No counters are defined in this MIB for the 'Event Qualifier' value of '0001'b (meaning "Changed NameDeSanti, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]

IANA Considerations IANA has assigned a MIB OID for the T11-FC-RSCN-MIB module under the appropriate subtree.DeSanti, et al. Standards Track [Page 23]
RFC 4983 Fibre Channel RSCN MIB August 20078. Security Considerations There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability are: t11FcRscnIlsRejectNotifyEnable t11FcRscnElsRejectNotifyEnable -- ability to enable/disable a notification; these object, if misconfigured, would either generate unwanted notifications or suppress wanted notifications. Some of the readable objects in this MIB module (i.e., objects with a MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible) may also be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over the network via SNMP. These are the tables and objects and their sensitivity/vulnerability: t11FcRscnRegTable -- contains a list of Nx_Ports that are currently registered to received RSCNs. t11FcRscnStatsTable -- contains RSCN-related statistics. t11FcRscnNotifyControlTable -- contains control and logging information for notifications that are concerned with the rejection of RSCN-related requests. SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPsec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB module. It is RECOMMENDED that implementors consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see[RFC3410], section 8), including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for authentication and privacy). Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT RECOMMENDED. Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to enable cryptographic security. It is then a customer/operatorDeSanti, et al. Standards Track [Page 24]
RFC 4983 Fibre Channel RSCN MIB August 2007 responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.9.
