Glossary NL_Port Node Loop Port. A node port that has arbitrated loop capabilities. Used to connect an equipment port to the fabric in a loop configuration through an FL_Port. See also N_Port, Nx_Port. Node Name The unique identifier for a node, communicated during login and port discovery. Node A Fibre Channel device that contains an N_Port or NL_Port. Non-participating Mode A mode in which an L_Port in a loop is inactive and cannot arbitrate or send frames, but can retransmit any received transmissions. This mode is entered if there are more than 127 devices in a loop and an AL_PA cannot be acquired. See also L_Port, Participating Mode. Nx_Port A node port that can operate as either an N_Port or NL_Port. Open Originator The L_Port that wins arbitration in an arbitrated loop and sends an OPN ordered set to the destination port, then enters the Open state. Open Recipient The L_Port that receives the OPN ordered set from the open originator, and then enters the Open state. Open State The state in which a port can establish a circuit with another port. A port must be in the Open state before it can arbitrate. OPN Open Primitive Signal. 80 ISL Trunking Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
