ID indexed addressing initiator initiator mode IP Link Local Area Network (LAN) longwave loop address Loop Port (L_Port) LUN I Numerical identifier A menu name. It allows for generic Fibre Channel host bus adapters to access SCSI devices attached to the 4x50 using a table which is indexed by sequential LUN values. A device (usually a host system) that requests an operation to be performed by another device known as a target (usually a peripheral). Configuration mode of the storage router in which a Fibre Channel initiator requests operations to be performed by a SCSI target device. Internet Protocol L For Fibre Channel, it is a connection between two nodes, each having at least one N_Port (or the other end could be an F-Port), interconnected by a pair of optical or copper links, one inbound and one outbound. A communications system with dimensions that are typically less than 5 kilometers. Transmissions within a local area network are mostly digital, carrying data among stations at rates usually above one megabit/sec. Lasers or LEDs that emit light with wave lengths around 1300 nm. When using single mode (9 nm) fibre, longwave lasers can be used to achieve lengths greater than 2Km. A FC term indicating the unique ID of a node in Fibre Channel loop topology, sometimes referred to as a Loop ID. Also a status type in the FC Status menu, showing the FC Loop Address of the 4x50. A FC port that supports loops. Logical Unit Number or Logical Unit; a subdivision of a SCSI target. For SCSI3, each SCSI target supports up to sixteen LUNs (LUN-0 to LUN-16). Using LUNs, the FC host can address multiple peripheral devices that may share a common controller. 251
