  • Page 100 Glossary Management Information Base; an SNMP structure to help with device management, providing configuration and device information. Monitoring State The state in which a port is monitoring the flow of information for data relevant to the port. Multicast The transmission of data from a single source to multiple specified N_Ports (as opposed to all the ports on the network).
  • Page 101 Glossary Phantom Address An AL_PA value that is assigned to an device that is not physically in the loop. Also known as phantom AL_PA. A twenty-bit public address created for an 8-bit loop device to allow public devices to access Phantom Device A device that is not physically in an arbitrated loop, but is logically included through the use of a phantom address.
  • Page 102 Glossary Public NL_Port 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. Public Device A device that can log into the fabric and support 20-bit addresses (or has 20-bit phantom addresses created for it by the switch).
  • Page 103 Glossary Storage Area Network; a network of systems and storage devices that communicate using Fibre Channel protocols. See also Fabric. Sequence A group of related frames transmitted in the same direction between two N_Ports. Service Rate The rate at which an entity can service requests. Single Mode The fiber optic cabling standard that corresponds to distances of up to 10 km between devices.
  • Page 104 Glossary Topology As applies to Fibre Channel, the configuration of the Fibre Channel network and the resulting communication paths allowed. There are three possible topologies: • Point to point - A direct link between two communication ports. • Switched fabric - Multiple N_Ports linked to a switch by F_Ports. •...
  • Page 105 Glossary ULP_TOV Upper-level Time-out Value; the minimum time that a SCSI ULP process waits for SCSI status before initiating ULP recovery. Upper-level Protocol; the protocol that runs on top of Fibre Channel. Typical upper-level protocols are SCSI, IP, HIPPI, and IPI. Well-known Address As pertaining to Fibre Channel, a logical address defined by the Fibre Channel standards as assigned to a specific function, and stored on the switch.
