Glossary NL_Port Node Loop Port. A node port that has arbitrated loop capabilities. Used to connect an equipment port to the fabric in a loop configuration through an FL_Port. See also N_Port, Nx_Port. Node Name The unique identifier for a node, communicated during login and port discovery. Node A Fibre Channel device that contains an N_Port or NL_Port. Non-participating Mode A mode in which an L_Port in a loop is inactive and cannot arbitrate or send frames, but can retransmit any received transmissions. This mode is entered if there are more than 127 devices in a loop and an AL_PA cannot be acquired. See also L_Port, Participating Mode. Nx_Port A node port that can operate as either an N_Port or NL_Port. Open Originator The L_Port that wins arbitration in an arbitrated loop and sends an OPN ordered set to the destination port, then enters the Open state. Open Recipient The L_Port that receives the OPN ordered set from the open originator, and then enters the Open state. Open State The state in which a port can establish a circuit with another port. A port must be in the Open state before it can arbitrate. OPN Open Primitive Signal. 92 Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide

port to the fabric in a loop configuration through an FL_Port.
See also
N_Port, Nx_Port.
Node Name
The unique identifier for a node, communicated during login and port discovery.
Node
A Fibre Channel device that contains an N_Port or NL_Port.
Non-participating Mode
A mode in which an L_Port in a loop is inactive and cannot arbitrate or send frames, but can
retransmit any received transmissions. This mode is entered if there are more than 127 devices in a
loop and an AL_PA cannot be acquired.
See also
L_Port, Participating Mode.
Nx_Port
A node port that can operate as either an N_Port or NL_Port.
Open Originator
The L_Port that wins arbitration in an arbitrated loop and sends an OPN ordered set to the
destination port, then enters the Open state.
Open Recipient
The L_Port that receives the OPN ordered set from the open originator, and then enters the Open
state.
Open State
The state in which a port can establish a circuit with another port. A port must be in the Open state
before it can arbitrate.
OPN
Open Primitive Signal.
