| Description | The status of the discovery for the particular Fabric.
Initially when the switch comes up, all instances of this
object have the value: 'localOnly', and the database
contains only local information, i.e., no information
discovered via the Fabric Configuration Server protocol
specified in FC-GS-5.
If t11FcsFabricDiscoveryStart is set to 'start' for a
range of Fabrics that includes this Fabric, then the
value of this object transitions to 'inProgress'. When
the discovery completes, this object transitions to
'completed', and the data is cached for the minimum
interval of time specified by
t11FcsFabricDiscoveryTimeOut. After this interval has
been exceeded, the data may be lost, in which case, the
value of this object changes to 'localOnly'.
This object cannot be set via SNMP to any value other
than 'localOnly'. If this object is set (via SNMP) to
'localOnly', the cached data for the Fabric is discarded
immediately, and if a discovery initiated from this
switch was in progress for this Fabric, then that
discovery is aborted. |
