Link Table
The objects described in this section are in a table format indexed by World Wide Name and Index. The index is an index into the link table for the switch. There may be as many link entries as there are ports. An example of how to access one of these objects given a WWN of 100000c0dd0090a7 is:
"snmpget localhost public fcmgmt.connSet.connUnitLinkTable.connUnitLinkEntry.connUnitLinkUni tId.16.0.0.192.221.0.144.167.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1".
If the agent is able to discover links which do not directly attach to members of its agency and its discovery algorithm gives some assurance the links are recently valid, it may include these links. Link information entered by administrative action may be included even if not validated directly if the link has at least one endpoint in this agency, but should not be included otherwise.
A connectivity unit should fill the table in as best it can. One of the methods to fill this in would be to use the RNID ELS (ANSI document
This table is accessed either directly if the management software has an index value or via GetNexts. The value of the indexes are not required to be contiguous. Each entry created in this table will be assigned an index. This relationship is kept persistent until the entry is removed from the table or the system is reset. The total number of entries are defined by the size of the table
