1 Loading Brocade MIBs Object Instances MIB objects are defined by the OID, which is the type of object, and by the instance number, which is an instance of that MIB object. A Fibre Channel port is a MIB object, and port 0 is an instance of that object. The following is an OID number and an instance number: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.11.5 where: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.11 is the OID (of swFCPortTxWords) and 5 is the instance ID for port 4. You must add 1 to the port number to get its instance number in SNMP because SNMP numbering starts at 1; switch port numbering starts at 0. Loading Brocade MIBs The Brocade MIB is a set of variables that are private extensions to the Internet standard MIB-II. The Brocade agents support many other Internet-standard MIBs. These standard MIBs are defined in RFC publications. To find specific MIB information, examine the Brocade proprietary MIB structure and the standard RFC MIBs supported by Brocade. Brocade MIB Files The Brocade MIB files are as follows: • BRCD_v5_0.mib • brcdfcip.mib • CPQ_HOST.mib • CPQ_RACK.mib • ENTITY_RFC2737.mib • FA_v3_0.mib • fcip.mib • FE_RFC2837.mib • FICON_v5_0.mib • HA_v5_1.mib • IF.mib • IF_TYPE.mib • INET_ADDR.mib • ISCSI_RFC4544.mib • SW_v5_7.mib Before Loading MIBs Before loading Brocade MIB files, ensure that you have the correct version of SNMP for your Fabric OS version (Table 2). 6 Fabric OS MIB Reference 53-1001156-01
