McDATA SNMP Support 2 The value assigned to a given connectivity unit SHOULD be persistent across agent and unit resets. It SHOULD be the same as fcConnUnitGlobalId if fcConnUnitGlobalId is known and stable. FcConnUnitGlobalId Type Product Mapping Access Description FcGlobalId Switch's WWN. R An optional global-scope identifier for this connectivity unit. It MUST be a WWN for this connectivity unit or 16 octets of value zero. WWN formats requiring fewer than 16 octets MUST be extended to 16 octets with trailing zero octets. If a WWN is used for fcConnUnitId, the same WWN MUST be used for fcConnUnitGlobalId. When a non-zero value is provided, it SHOULD be persistent across agent and unit resets. It SHOULD be globally unique. It SHOULD be one of these FC-PH/PH3 formats: IEEE (NAA=1) IEEE Extended (NAA=2) IEEE Registered (NAA=5). IEEE Registered extended (NAA=6). Use of the IEEE formats allows any IEEE-registered vendor to assure global uniqueness independently. The following are some references on IEEE WWN formats: http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/tutorials/fibreformat.html http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/tutorials/fibrecomp_id.htm l If one or more WWNs are associated with the connectivity unit via other management methods, one of them SHOULD be used for fcConnUnitGlobalId. If there is not a WWN assigned specifically to the connectivity unit, there is some merit, though not a requirement, to using a WWN assigned to (one of) its permanently attached FC/LAN interface(s). This can not risk uniqueness, though. As a counterexample, if your agent runs in a host and the host has an HBA, it is quite possible that agent, host, and HBA will all be distinct connectivity units, so the host and agent can not use the WWN of the Fibre Alliance MIB 2-99
