A view of what happens on a switch, from the switch's point of view.
The
portlogdump
A user-defined alpha numeric name for a port.
The unique identifier assigned to a Fibre Channel port.
Communicated during login and port discovery.
The ability to redirect a failed port to another port. This feature is
available in Fabric OS v4.1.0 and higher.
POST
Power-on self test
on.
PPP Point-to-Point Protocol.
The switch that assumes the responsibility to assign domain IDs. The
role of principle switch is negotiated after a Build Fabric event.
An ordered set that is transmitted repeatedly and continuously.
Primitive sequences are transmitted to indicate specific conditions
within or conditions encountered by the receiver logic of an FC_Port.
See OLS and NOS.
An ordered set that indicates actions or events and requires just one
occurrence to trigger a response. Idle and R_RDY are used in all three
topologies, ARB, OPN, and CLS. MRK is used in arbitrated loop.
The first switch to boot up in a fabric. Ensures unique domain IDs
among roles.
A device that supports arbitrated loop protocol and can interpret
8-bit addresses, but cannot log in to the fabric.
The secret half of a key pair. See also Key, Key Pair.
An arbitrated loop that does not include a participating FL_Port.
A device that supports a loop and can understand 8-bit addresses but
does not log in to the fabric.
An NL_Port that communicates only with other private NL_Ports in
the same loop and does not log in to the fabric.
A defined method and a set of standards for communication.
command is used to read the port log.
A series of tests run by a switch after it is turned
