port cage
The metal casing extending out of the fibre channel port on the switch, and into
which a GBIC or SFP transceiver can be inserted.
Port_Name
The unique identifier assigned to a fibre channel port. Communicated during login
and port discovery.
POST
Power On Self-Test. A series of tests run by a switch after it is powered on.
primary FCS switch
Primary fabric configuration server switch. The switch that actively manages the
configuration and security parameters for all switches in the fabric.
private loop
An arbitrated loop that does not include a participating FL_Port.
private NL_Port
An NL_Port that communicates only with other private NL_Ports in the same loop
and does not log into the fabric.
public device
A device that supports arbitrated loop protocol, can interpret 8-bit addresses, and
can log into the fabric.
public loop
An arbitrated loop that includes a participating FL_Port, and may contain both
public and private NL_Ports.
public NL_Port
An NL_Port that logs into the fabric, can function within either a public or a
private loop, and can communicate with either private or public NL_Ports.
Q
quad
A group of four adjacent ports that share a common pool of frame buffers.
R
R_A_TOV
Resource allocation time-out value. The maximum time a frame can be delayed in
the fabric and still be delivered.
