connUnitId [connUnitTable]
Syntax
Octet String of size 16
Access
Read-only
Status
Mandatory
Description
The unique identification for this connectivity unit among those within this proxy domain.
The value MUST be unique within the proxy domain because it is the index variable for
connUnitTable.
The value assigned to a given connectivity unit SHOULD be persistent across agent and unit resets.
It SHOULD be the same as connUnitGlobalId if connUnitGlobalId is known and stable.
Note:
connUnitGlobalId [connUnitTable]
Syntax FcGlobalId
Access Read-only
Status
Mandatory
Description
An optional global-scope identifier for this connectivity unit.
It MUST be a WWN for this connectivity unit or 16 octets of value zero.
The following characteristics are required:
•
WWN formats requiring fewer than 16 octets MUST be extended to 16 octets with trailing
zero octets.
•
If a WWN is used for connUnitId, the same WWN MUST be used for connUnitGlobalId.
The following characteristics are strongly recommended:
When a non-zero value is provided, it SHOULD be persistent across agent and unit resets.
•
It SHOULD be globally unique.
MIB Reference Manual Version 3.0
The FC Entry Switch 8B, FC Switch 8B, and FC 16B treat this as a very large (128-bit)
integer, starting from 1. Therefore, in order to specify a particular instance of any columnar
variable in the connUnitEntry (such as connUnitType), specify the instance identifier as a
16-octet value. For example:
connUnitType.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1
where the object instance identifier consists of 16 octets, each representing the byte value
from high byte order to low byte order of this 128-bit integer.
This is mapped to WWN.
