See also
persistent binding and zoning.
active zone set
Single zone set that is active in a multiswitch fabric. It is created when you enable a specified
zone set. This zone set is compiled by checking for undefined zones or aliases.
agent
Software that processes queries on behalf of an application and returns replies.
alarm
Simple network management protocol (SNMP) message notifying an operator of a network or
device problem.
ALPA
Arbitrated Loop Physical Address.
alias server
Fabric software facility that supports multicast group management.
arbitration
Process of selecting one device from a collection of devices that request service
simultaneously.
audit log
Log summarizing actions (audit trail) made by the user.
backplane
The backplane provides 48 VDC power distribution and connections for all logic cards.
backup FRU
When an active FRU fails, an identical backup FRU takes over operation automatically
(failover) to maintain Director and Fibre Channel link operation.
