Link Table
The objects described in this section are in a table format indexed by World Wide
Name and Index. The index is an index into the link table for the switch. There
may be as many link entries as there are ports. An example of how to access one
of these objects given a WWN of 100000c0dd0090a7 is:
"snmpget localhost public
fcmgmt.connSet.connUnitLinkTable.connUnitLinkEntry.connUnitLinkUni
tId.16.0.0.192.221.0.144.167.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1".
If the agent is able to discover links which do not directly attach to members of its
agency and its discovery algorithm gives some assurance the links are recently
valid, it may include these links. Link information entered by administrative action
may be included even if not validated directly if the link has at least one endpoint
in this agency, but should not be included otherwise.
A connectivity unit should fill the table in as best it can. One of the methods to fill
this in would be to use the RNID ELS (ANSI document 99-422v0). This allows one
to query a port for the information needed for the link table.
This table is accessed either directly if the management software has an index
value or via GetNexts. The value of the indexes are not required to be contiguous.
Each entry created in this table will be assigned an index. This relationship is kept
persistent until the entry is removed from the table or the system is reset. The total
number of entries are defined by the size of the table
connUnitLinkUnitId (1.3.6.1.3.94.1.12.1.1)
The connUnitId of the connectivity unit that contains this link table.
