Cisco Fibre Channel Trace Route Entry

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.296.1.1.1.1

A trace route request entry. A management station wishing to create an entry should generate a pseudo-random number to be used as an index into this table and create an instance of the fcTraceRouteRowStatus object. After that, the management station should set the corresponding instance of fcTraceRouteTargetAddr object with the address of the destination for which the route needs to be determined and fcTraceRouteVsanIndex with the desired VSAN number. Once the appropriate instance of all the configuration objects have been created, either by an explicit SNMP set request or by default, the row status should be set to active and the corresponding instance of fcTraceRouteAdminStatus should be set to 'enable' to initiate the trace route sequence. Note that this entire procedure may be initiated via a single set request which specifies a row status of createAndGo as well as specifies valid values for the non-defaulted configuration objects. The results of the trace route operation are made available in the fcTraceRouteHopsTable. For an entry uniquely identified by fcTraceRouteIndex, the value of the corresponding instance of fcTraceRouteOperStatus object will specify whether test was a success or a failure. The fcTraceRouteHopsTable will contain the actual hops that were determined by the test. For an entry uniquely identified by fcTraceRouteIndex, entries will be created automatically in the fcTraceRouteHopsTable which contain the different hops of the trace route path. Once the trace route test is complete, the management station should retrieve the information from the fcTraceRouteHopsTable and delete the entry from this table. When an entry is deleted from this table, related entries in the fcTraceRouteHopsTable will be automatically deleted by the agent. In order to prevent old entries from clogging the table, entries will be aged out. But an entry will never be deleted within fcTraceRouteAgeInterval milliseconds of completing. If the management station wishes to repeat the trace route test for a particular destination, then it will need to set the corresponding instance of fcTraceRouteAdminStatus to 'enable' again.
