The MIB module for the management of
preferred path. This MIB enables managers
to configure and monitor Preferred Path
parameters.
Preferred path provides a method of routing
traffic over the selected paths, not necessarily
the preferred shortest path as chosen by routing
protocols such as FSPF. This kind of control allows
users to choose shortest paths based on
characteristics, such as frames received on a
selected interface or frames with selected source
FC-ID. This feature allows users to ensure paths
seperation between switches for different traffic
between a host and a target.
Glossary:
FC-ID - Fibre Channel Identifier.
VSAN - Virtual Storage Area Network.
fcroute - Fibre Channel route to host or target.
