Cisco Fibre Element If Fibre Channel Tunnel If Index

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.289.1.1.2.1.37

This object specifies the ifIndex of a FC tunnel that represents a logical Fibre Channel data path between a source switch and destination switch. RSPAN uses a special FC tunnel that originates at the ST port in the source switch and terminates at the SD port in the destination switch. The FC tunnel must be first bound to an ST port in the source switch and then mapped to an SD port in the destination switch for RSPAN feature configuration, which enables monitoring traffic from a remote switch. A value of zero indicates that no FC tunnel is mapped to a ST port. GLOSSARY: SPAN: Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN) is a feature that enables user to analyze network traffic in a switched network using network analyzer attached to a switch port. RSPAN: Remote SPAN that enables monitoring of traffic from remote switches. FC tunnel: An FC tunnel is a logical data path between a source switch and destination switch. SPAN tunnel (ST) port: The ST port is used to forward traffic to FC tunnel. SPAN destination (SD) port: The SD port is used to forward traffic to an Analyzer for monitoring purposes.
