The functions that provide security for fabric users and devices including user account
security, and fabric services.
A component of fabric security that provides for the control of inband management and
SNMP on a switch.
A file containing a set of fabrics that were opened and saved during a previous McDATA
Web Server session.
See Fabric Device Management Interface.
Memory on the switch that contains the chassis control firmware.
Data unit consisting of a start-of-frame (SOF) delimiter, header, data payload, CRC, and an
end-of-frame (EOF) delimiter.
Field Replaceable Unit
A list of device worldwide names that are authorized to attach to a switch. There are three
group types: one for other switches (ISL), another for devices (port), and a third for devices
issuing management server commands (MS).
High Availability Fabric Manager
The firmware image on the switch that is not in use.
The ability to manage a switch through an FC port.
The device that initiates a data exchange with a target device.
A feature that requires that frames be received in the same order in which they were sent.
A chassis LED that indicates that the switch logic circuitry is receiving proper DC voltages.
The connection between two switches using E_Ports.
Permits interoperation with FC-SW-2 compliant (Standard/McDATA Open mode) switches
and switches running in McDATA Fabric Mode (Interop_2 in Command Line Interface).
Internet Protocol
Loop Initialization Primitive sequence
A port LED that indicates device login or loop initialization status.
Momentary button on the switch used to reset the switch or place the switch in maintenance
mode.
Maintenance mode sets the IP address to 10.0.0.1 and provides access to the switch for
maintenance purposes.
A set of guidelines and definitions for SNMP functions.
PC workstation that manages the fabric through the fabric management switch.
Switch management application that is accessible through the High Availability Fabric
Manager (HAFM).
Switch management application that resides on the switch an is accessible through an
internet browser.
A fabric in which each chassis has at least one port directly connected to each other
chassis in the fabric.
Management Information Base
A fabric in which two or more edge switches connect to one or more core switches.
A network protocol that enables a client to synchronize its time with a server.
Node Loop Port. An FC device port that supports arbitrated loop protocol.
Node Port. An FC device port in a point-to-point or fabric connection.
Network Time Protocol
The firmware image that will be activated upon the next switch reset.
