Primary fabric configuration server switch. The switch that actively
manages the configuration and security parameters for all switches in
the fabric. See also Backup FCS Switch and FCS Switch.
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.
Port State Machine.
Power supply unit.
A device that supports arbitrated loop protocol, can interpret 8-bit
addresses, and can log in to the fabric.
The public half of a key pair. See also key, key pair.
A type of cryptography that uses a key pair, with the two keys in the
pair called at different points in the algorithm. The sender uses the
recipient's public key to encrypt the message, and the recipient uses
the recipient's private key to decrypt it. See also key pair.
An arbitrated loop that includes a participating FL_Port, and may
contain both public and private NL_Ports.
An NL_Port that logs into the fabric, can function within either a
public or a private loop, and can communicate with either private or
public NL_Ports.
Q
A group of four adjacent ports that share a common pool of frame
buffers.
