Glossary
persistent binding
A form of server-level access control that uses configuration information to bind a server to a
specific Fibre Channel storage volume (or logical device), using a unit number. See also
access
control
.
point-to-point
A Fibre Channel protocol topology that provides a single, direct connection between two
communication ports. The Director or Switch supports only point-to-point topology. See also
arbitrated loop
.
port
Receptacle on a device to which a cable leading to another device can be attached. Ports
provide Fibre Channel connections (D).
port address name
A user-defined symbolic name of 24 characters or less that identifies a particular port address.
port authorization
Feature of the password definition function that allows an administrator to extend
operator-level passwords to specific port addresses for each Director or Switch definition
managed by a personal computer (PC). Port authorization affects only operator-level actions
for active and saved matrices (D).
port card
Field-replaceable hardware component that provides the port connections for fiber cables and
performs specific device-dependent logic functions.
port card map
Map showing port numbers and port card slot numbers inside a hardware cabinet.
port name
Name that the user assigns to a particular port through the
Product Manager
application. See
also
identifier
. Synonymous with
address name
.
preferred domain ID
Configured value that a switch will request from the Principal Switch. If the preferred value is
already in use, the Principal Switch will assign a different value.
principal switch
In a multiswitch fabric, the switch that allocates domain IDs to itself and to all other switches
in the fabric. There is always one principal switch in a fabric. If a switch is not connected to
any other switches, it acts as its own principal switch.
private device
A loop device that cannot transmit a fabric login command (FLOGI) command to a Switch or
Director, nor communicate with fabric-attached devices. Contrast with
public device
