Interfaces group
Implementation of the Interfaces group is mandatory for all systems. FCIP tunnel support is added
in Fabric OS 5.3.0 and later. To support FCIP tunneling, entries are created in the ifTable for each
WAN interface (GbE port), each FC port, and each FCIP tunnel (transport interface).
Logical Inter-Switch Link (LISL) is an FC interface.

Access Description
Read-write The physical location of this node (for example, telephone closet, 3rd floor).
The minimum length of the string must be four. The default is End User
Premise.
Set this value using the snmpconfig command.
Read only A value that indicates the set of services that this entity primarily offers. The
value is a sum. This sum initially takes the value 0. Then, for each layer, L, in
the range 1 through 7, for which this node performs transactions, 2 raised to
(L - 1) is added to the sum. For example, a node that primarily performs
routing functions has a value of 4 (2
and offers application services has a value of 72 (2
In the context of the Internet suite of protocols, values should be calculated
accordingly:
Layer functionality
•
1 = physical (for example, repeaters)
•
2 = datalink/subnetwork (for example, bridges)
•
3 = internet (for example, IP gateways)
•
4 = end-to-end (for example, IP hosts)
•
7 = applications (for example, mail relays)
For systems including OSI protocols, layers 5 and 6 also can be counted. The
return value is always 79.
Access Description
Read only The number of network interfaces and existing FC ports present on this
system, regardless of their current state. This number will vary across
platforms (switches).
The return value is dynamic for all Brocade switches and depends on the
number of GbE ports, FC ports and transport interfaces.
Not A list of interface entries. The number of entries is given by the value of
accessible ifNumber.
The Interfaces table contains information on the entity's interfaces. Each
interface is thought of as being attached to a subnetwork. Note that this term
should not be confused with subnet, which refers to an addressing
partitioning scheme used in the Internet suite of protocols.
Not An interface entry containing objects at the subnetwork layer and below, for a
accessible particular interface.
