Brocade SAN Glossary
The currently enabled configuration of zones; only one configuration can be
enabled at a time.
The basic Brocade software license that allows one E_Port per switch.
End of Frame. A group of ordered sets used to mark the end of a frame.
The highest-level Fibre Channel mechanism used for communication
between N_Ports, composed of one or more related sequences and working
either uni- or bi-directionally.
A device that has been mapped between fabrics (a host or storage port in
one edge fabric can be exported to any other fabric by using LSAN zoning).
The type of E_Port used to connect a Multiprotocol Router to an edge fabric.
An EX_Port follows standard E_Port protocols and supports FC-NAT but does
not allow fabric merging across EX_Ports.
Format that generates the same PID for a port on switches with 16 or fewer
ports as would native PID format, but it also supports up to 256 ports per
domain.
Optionally licensed Fabric OS feature that provides up to 500 km of switched
fabric connectivity at full bandwidth over long distance.
A range of logical blocks within a logical unit (LU); the path name identifies
both the LU of which the extent is part and the path used to access this
extent.
A collection of Fibre Channel switches and directors and connected devices,
such as hosts and storage.
A device that enables fabric-based storage applications such as mirroring,
data migration, snapshots, and virtual tape. The Brocade Fabric Application
Platform can run in a central location, process data at wire-speed, and
reside in existing data paths.
Unique identifier of a fabric in a metaSAN.
See Brocade Fabric Manager.
The number of ports available for connection by nodes in a fabric.
The arrangement of switches that form a fabric.
Optionally licensed Brocade software accessed through either the command-
line interface or Brocade Web Tools; provides the ability to set thresholds for
monitoring fabric conditions.
On a Brocade device, the process of activating the standby CP and
transferring switch processing from the active CP so that traffic is not
disrupted.
