You really want to use the SystemImageGuid for that (1.1 pre-release version of the specification, or those 64 undefined bits adjacent to the 1.0 vol 1 spec variants) The IBTA intended the NodeGUID to refer to the CA to port relationship for channel adapters. > -- > Bill Swortwood Sr Software Architect > OmegaBand Inc. > (512) 401-8208 X144 (W) > (512) 401-8268(Fax) > 9020-I Capital of Texas Highway > North, > Suite 270 Austin, TX. 78759 > Email : billiam@omegaband.com > Web: http://www.omegaband.com > Quote : "It's all just code..." > ---------------------- Forwarded Message: --------------------- > From: Larry Butler <LButler@JNI.com> > To: ipoverib@ietf.org, "'sharnedy@infiniswitch.com'" <sharnedy@infiniswitch.com> > Subject: [Ipoverib] Comments on Channel Adapter MIB > Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2002 10:36:48 -0700 > > Dear IPOIB WG, > > I have a few comments about the IPoverIB Channel Adapter MIB. > > Since there may be multiple channel adapters within a node, I'd like to > suggest that the MIB be modified to support multiple channel adapters. > > On the ibCaNodeGuid object within the ibCaGeneralInfo group, it seems to me > that the scope of this object is not within a channel adapter, but rather > within the node.
