Fabric port An F_Port Fabric view file A file containing a set of fabrics that were opened and saved during a previous QuickTools session. Fan Fail LED An LED that indicates that a cooling fan in the switch is operating below standard. Flash memory Memory on the switch that contains the switch control firmware. Force PROM Mode See Maintenance Mode Frame Data unit consisting of a start-of-frame (SOF) delimiter, header, data payload, CRC, and an end-of-frame (EOF) delimiter. Hard zone A hard zone is a division of the fabric for the purposes of controlling discovery and inbound traffic. Heartbeat LED A switch LED that indicates the status of the internal switch processor and the results of the Power On Self Test. Inactive firmware The firmware image on the switch that is not in use. In-band management The ability to manage a switch through another switch over an inter-switch link. Initiator The device that initiates a data exchange with a target device. Input Power LED A switch LED that indicates that the switch logic circuitry is receiving proper DC voltages. Inter-Fabric Zone (IFZ) A zone that is used to map local devices to devices on a remote HP StorageWorks B-series or C-series fabric across a TR_Port. The zone membership consists of the port WWNs of the local device, the remote device, and the TR_Port. The zone name is a concatenation of the IFZ prefix, the lowest WWN, and the remaining WWN, separated by underscores (_). Inter-Switch Link The connection between two switches using E_Ports. IP Internet Protocol LED Light emitting diode. LIP Loop Initialization Primitive sequence Logged-in LED A port LED that indicates device login or loop initialization status. Maintenance button Formerly known as the Force PROM button. A momentary button on the switch used to reset the switch or place the switch in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode Formerly known as force PROM mode. Sets the IP address to 10.0.0.1 and provides access to the switch for maintenance purposes. Management Information Base A set of guidelines and definitions for SNMP functions. See SNMP. Management workstation PC workstation that manages the fabric through the fabric management switch. MIB Management Information Base NL_Port Node Loop Port. A Fibre Channel device port that supports arbitrated loop protocol. N_Port Node Port. A Fibre Channel device port in a point-to-point or fabric connection. 106
