The SpaceFibre standard defines the Management Information Base (MIB), a repository of parameters used for configuring, controlling, and monitoring the operation of a SpaceFibre device, as well as the MIB service, which provides an interface for manipulating the values of the parameters. The standard specifies the Remote Memory Access Protocol (RMAP) as the means of remote management of SpaceFibre networks. This paper presents an alternative approach of adopting a dedicated network management protocol based on the Network Discovery and Configuration Protocol that had been proposed for SpaceWire networks (SpW-NDCP), extended so as to handle SpaceWire, SpaceFibre, and mixed networks, called NDCP version 2. Details of the new protocol are shown and compared to the original SpW-NDCP. An accompanying XML network representation is proposed. A demonstrator mixed SpaceWire/SpaceFibre network is described, including a custom-made SpaceFibre node built on a system-on-a-chip and supporting the NDCP v.2.
