Brocade SAN Glossary
Loop Initialization Report Position frame. The first frame transmitted in the
loop initialization process after all L_Ports have selected an AL_PA. It gets
transmitted around the loop so all L_Ports can report their relative physical
position. This is an optional frame.
Loop Initialization Soft Assigned frame. The fourth frame transmitted in the
loop initialization process after a temporary loop master has been selected.
L_Ports that have not selected an AL_PA in a LIFA, LIPA, or LIHA frame will
select their AL_PA here.
Loop Initialization Select Master frame. The first frame transmitted in the
initialization process when L_Ports select an AL_PA. It is used to select a
temporary loop master or the L_Port that will subsequently start
transmission of the LIFA, LIPA, LIHA, LISA, LIRP, or LILP frames.
Loop Master Timeout Value. The minimum time that the loop master waits
for a loop initialization sequence to return.
A logical network that spans multiple fabrics. The path between devices in
an LSAN can be local to an edge fabric or cross one or more Multiprotocol
Routers and up to one intermediate backbone fabric. LSANs are
administered through LSAN zones in each edge fabric.
The unit that responds to login requests.
The code name given to the second-generation Brocade fabric ASIC, used in
the Brocade 2000 series of switches.
A temporary bi-directional communication path established between L_Ports.
A hexadecimal value representing one of the 127 possible AL_PA values in
an Arbitrated Loop.
Private Arbitrated Loop segments connected by a fabric.
Loop Port Bypass. A primitive sequence transmitted by an L_Port to bypass
one or all L_Ports to which it is directed. It is used only in Arbitrated Loops.
Loop Port Enable. A primitive sequence transmitted by an L_Port to enable
one or all L_Ports that have been bypassed with the LPB. It is used only in
Arbitrated Loops.
Loop port. A port supporting the Arbitrated Loop protocol. It appears as the
part of the output of a switchShow command.
Loop Port State Machine. Logic that monitors and performs the tasks
required for initialization and access to the loop. It is maintained by an
L_Port to track behavior through different phases of loop operations.
Link Reset. A primitive sequence used during link initialization between two
N_Ports in point-to-point topology, or an N_Port and an F_Port in fabric
topology. The expected response is an LRR.
Link Reset Response. A primitive sequence during link initialization between
two N_Ports in point-to-point topology, or an N_Port and an F_Port in fabric
topology. It is sent in response to an LR, and expects a response of Idle.
