SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V, 2/16N and 4/32 installation guide
119
point-to-point
A fibre channel topology that employs direct links between each pair of
communicating entities.
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.
RAID
Redundant Array Of Independent Disks. A collection of disk drives that appear as a
single volume to the server and are fault tolerant through mirroring or parity checking.
request rate
The rate at which requests arrive at a servicing entity.
route
As applies to a fabric, the communication path between two switches. May also
apply to the specific path taken by an individual frame, from source to destination.
routing
The assignment of frames to specific switch ports, according to frame destination.
RR_TOV
Resource recovery time-out value. The minimum time a target device in a loop waits
after a LIP before logging out a SCSI initiator.
