Brocade SAN Glossary
A method for isolating traffic used for specific forced network control, for
example, to route traffic to a particular EX_Port in an M-EOS edge fabric;
lets you define which ingress port will take which egress port; configuration
must be performed at the director level.
A virtual device present in a local fabric that represents a physical device
connected to a different edge fabric. From the perspective of the local device
that is physically connected to a fabric, a proxy device is considered to be
"imported"; from the perspective of the remote fabric, the proxy device is
said to be "exported."
Power Supply Unit.
A device that supports loop and can also log in to the fabric.
(public and private) called at different points in the algorithm.
An Arbitrated Loop with a participating FL_Port.
An Arbitrated Loop device that supports fabric login and services.
An NL_Port that can communicate with other ports on the loop as well as
through an FL_Port to other N_Ports on the fabric.
A brand of host bus adapters and switches.
you to assign different priority to different applications, users, or data flows,
or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow between a
given host-target pair. You assign high or low priority (QoS level) using a
special QoS zone.See also Adaptive Networking, SID, and DID.
A mechanism for each AL_PA address that allows for collecting frames prior
to sending them to the loop.
A Brocade software product that allows multiple ports on a switch to create a
logical loop. Devices connected via QuickLoop will appear to each other as if
they were on the same Arbitrated Loop.
Allows initiator devices to communicate with private or public devices that
are not in the same loop.
Resource Allocation Timeout Value. Used to time out operations that depend
on the maximum allowable time a frame could be delayed in the fabric and
still be delivered.
Route Control. The first 8 bits of a header, which defines the type of frame
and its contents.
Receiver Ready. A primitive signal indicating that the port is ready to receive
a frame.
