About TL Port ALPA Caches Although TL ports cannot be automatically configured, you can manually configure entries in arbitrated loop physical address (ALPA) caches. Generally, ALPA cache entries are automatically populated when an ALPA is assigned to a device. Each device is identified by its port world wide name (pWWN). When a device is allocated an ALPA, an entry for that device is automatically created in the ALPA cache. OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide 20-19
