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 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 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].

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.  A

DeSanti, 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 directly

DeSanti, 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 2007

5.5.1. 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 Name

DeSanti, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 4983 Fibre Channel RSCN MIB August 2007

       Server Object") because these types of RSCNs are counted by the
       t11NsInRscns and t11NsOutRscns objects already defined in
       [RFC4438].

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 2007

8. 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/operator

DeSanti, 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.
