For FC over IP a port can be either a B_port or an E_port. A B_port supports Class F frames and thus could at least use the Class F BB_Credit object that you specified in fcmEPortTable. The MIB defines the FcUnitFunction type of 'bridge' as "encapsulates FC frames within another protocol". Doesn't this imply "tunneling"? Since a B_port is transparent to the Fabric, just providing a table for B_Ports may provide a solution for other devices/ports that are transparent to the Fabric and need an object for BB_Credit. Thanks, Charissa
