Glossary–11
Glossary
name server
Program that translates names from one form into another. For example, the domain name
service (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses.
name server zoning
N_Port access management that allows N_Ports to communicate if and only if they belong to a
common name server zone.
network address
Name or address that identifies a managed product on a transmission control protocol/internet
protocol (TCP/IP) network. The network address can be either an IP address in dotted-decimal
notation (containing four three-digit octets in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), or a domain name
(as administered on a customer network).
nickname
Alternate name assigned to a World Wide Name for a node, Director, or Edge Switch in a
fabric.
node
In Fibre Channel terminology, node refers to an end device (server or storage device) that is or
can be connected to a switched fabric.
node port (N_Port)
Physical interface within an end device which can connect to an F_Port on a switched fabric or
directly to another N_Port (in point-to-point communications).
nondisruptive maintenance
Ability to service FRUs (including maintenance, installation, removal and replacement) while
normal operations continue without interruption.
See also
concurrent maintenance.
N_Port
See
node port.
offline sequence (OLS)
Sequence sent by the transmitting port to indicate that it is attempting to initialize a link and
has detected a problem in doing so.
OLS
See
offline sequence.
