SNMP SNMPv1 Tachyon Trap (SNMP) Tunneling Unicast U_Port WWN Zone Zone alias Zone configuration Simple Management Network Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol that generally uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to exchange messages between a management information base and a management client residing on a network. Because SNMP does not rely on the underlying communication protocols, it can be made available over other protocols, such as UDP/IP. The original standard for SNMP, now labeled v1. A type of host bus adapter. A mechanism for SNMP agents to notify the SNMP management station of significant events. A technique for enabling two networks to communicate when the source and destination hosts are on the same type of network, but are connected by a different type of network. A routing method that provides one or more optimal paths between any two switches in the fabric. Universal Port. A generic switch port that can operate as either an E_Port, F_Port, or FL_Port. A port is defined as a U_Port when it is not connected, or has not yet assumed a specific function in the fabric. Worldwide name. A unique local and global identifier for a device on a network. A set of hosts and devices attached to the same fabric and designated as belonging to the same zone. Any device connected to the fabric can be configured into one or more zones. An alias for a set of port numbers or WWNs. Zone aliases can be used to simplify the entry of port numbers and WWNs. For example, "host" could be used as an alias for a WWN of 110:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a. A set of zones designated as belonging to the same zone configuration. When a zone configuration is in effect, all valid zones in that configuration are also in effect. 38 Fabric Watch User's Guide
