Simple Network Management Protocol. Internet management protocol that
does not rely on underlying communication protocols and can therefore be
made available over other protocols, such as UDP/IP. Uses IP for network
layer functions and UDP for transport layer functions, or TCP/IP for both.
See also Community (SNMP).
The original standard for SNMP, now labeled v1.
Simple Name Server. See Name server.
A combination of hardware and firmware that routes frames according to
fibre channel protocol. Switches can have G_Ports, E_Ports, F_Ports, and
FL_Ports.
Unique identifier for a switch, used in routing frames. Usually automatically
assigned by the switch, but can be manually assigned by administrator.
Arbitrary name assigned to switch by administrator. See also Switch
Domain_ID.
Port on a switch. Switch ports can be E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports.
Short wavelength fiber-optic cable. Based on 850 nm lasers supporting
1.0625 Gbps link speeds. Connectors are color-coded black. See also LWL.
Storage device that receives communications from a server or workstation
over a fibre channel network. See also Initiator.
The time from when a port wins arbitration in a loop until the same port
returns to the monitoring state. Also referred to as loop tenancy.
The rate of data flow achieved within a cable, link, or system. See also
Bandwidth.
As applies to fibre channel, the structure of the fibre channel network and
the resulting possible communication paths. There are three fibre channel
topologies: point-to-point, fabric, and arbitrated loop.
A state in which a port can establish circuits with multiple ports without
reentering the arbitration cycle for each circuit. This state can only be
accessed by an L_Port in the Open state.
Mode in which public devices can communicate with private devices across
fabric.Translates 8-bit to 24-bit addresses.
