Glossary SFP Small form factor pluggable. A transceiver used on 2 Gbps switches that replaces the GBIC. Refers to the LC-form factor transceiver. See also GBIC. SID/DID Source identifier/Destination identifier. S_ID is a 3-byte field in the frame header that is used to indicate the address identifier of the N_Port from which the frame was sent. Single Mode The fiber optic cabling standard that, when used in conjunction with a 1300 nm laser light, can transfer data up to 10 km between devices. When used in conjunction with a 1550 nm laser light, single mode cabling can transfer data over 10 km. See also multimode, LWL, ELWL, and XLWL. SI Sequence Initiative. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. An internet management protocol that uses either IP for network-level functions and UDP for transport-level functions, or TCP/IP for both. Can be made available over other protocols, such as UDP/IP, because it does not rely on the underlying communication protocols. See also Community (SNMP). SNMPv1 The original SNMP, now labeled v1. SNS Simple Name Server. A switch service that stores names, addresses, and attributes for up to 15 minutes, and provides them as required to other devices in the fabric. SNS is defined by Fibre Channel standards and exists at a well-known address. May also be referred to as directory service. See also FS. StorageWorks SAN switch The brand name for the HP family of switches. Switch Name The arbitrary name assigned to a switch. Switch Port A port on a switch. Switch ports can be E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports. 98 Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
