Unique 8-bit value assigned during loop initialization to each port in an arbitrated loop.
  • Page 350 Asynchronous Transfer Mode. Transport for transmitting data over LANs or WANs that transmit fixed-length units of data. Provides any-to-any connectivity and allows nodes to transmit simultaneously. AW_TOV Arbitration Wait Timeout Value. The minimum time an arbitrating L_Port waits for a response before beginning loop initialization. Bandwidth The total transmission capacity of a link, cable, or system.
  • Page 351 Class 3 A connectionless frame switching service between two ports, without notification of delivery or nondelivery. Can also be used to provide a multicast connection between originator and recipients, with notification of delivery or nondelivery. Class 4 Connection-oriented service that provides a virtual circuit between two ports, including notification of delivery or non-delivery.
  • Page 352 CT_IU Common Transport Information Unit. An information unit that conforms to the Fibre Channel Common Transport (FC_CT) protocol. Current fill word The fill word currently selected by the LPSM (loop port state machine). See also Fill word. Cut-through Switching technique that allows selection of a transmission route for a frame as soon as destination address is received.
  • Page 353 End-to-end flow Governs flow of Class 1 and 2 frames between N_Ports. See also control Buffer-to-buffer flow control, EE_Credit. Error As applies to fibre channel, a missing or corrupted frame, time-out, loss of synchronization, or loss of signal. See also Loop failure. Exchange As applies to fibre channel, a communication session between N_Ports involving the transmission of one or more related sequences, in one or both...
  • Page 354 FC-SW-2 The Fibre Channel Switch Fabric standard, second generation. Specifies tools and algorithms for interconnection and initialization of fibre channel switches. Fibre channel Protocol service that supports communication between fibre channel service transport providers. See also FSP. FIFO First In, First Out. May refer to a data buffer that follows the first in, first out rule.
  • Page 355 Fibre Channel Service Protocol. The common protocol used for all fabric services, transparent to fabric type or topology. See also FS. FSPF Fabric Shortest Path First. Routing protocol for fibre channel switches. Full-duplex Mode of communication that allows a port to simultaneously transmit and receive frames.
  • Page 356 Fibre channel wiring concentrator that collapses loop topology into physical star topology. Nodes are automatically added when active and removed when inactive. Idle Continuous transmission of an ordered set when no data is being transmitted to maintain an active fibre channel link and synchronization. See also Fill word.
  • Page 357 Link services Protocol for link-related actions. Loop Initialization Primitive. The signal used to begin initialization in a loop. Indicates either loop failure or resetting of a node. See also Loop initialization. LIS_HOLD_TIME The maximum period of time for a node to forward a loop initialization sequence.
  • Page 358 Multimode Fibre-optic cabling specification allowing up to 500 m between devices. N_Port Node Port. Port that can attach to a fibre channel port. See also NL_Port, Nx_Port. Network Address Authority. An identifier that indicates the format of a network address. Name server Service of storing names, addresses, and attributes for up to 15 minutes, provided by a switch to other entities in fabric.
  • Page 359 Participating mode Mode in which an L_Port in a loop has valid AL_PA and can arbitrate, send frames, and retransmit received transmissions. See also Nonparticipating mode. Path selection The selection of a transmission path through the fabric. Switches use the FSPF protocol.
  • Page 360 R_A_TOV Resource Allocation Timeout Value. Maximum time a frame can be delayed in the fabric and still be delivered. See also E_D_TOV. RAID Redundant Array of Independent Disks. Collection of disk drives that appear as a single volume to the server, and are fault-tolerant through mirroring or parity checking.
  • Page 361 Switch 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. Switch Domain_ID Unique identifier for a switch, used in routing frames. Usually automatically assigned by the switch, but can be manually assigned by administrator. Switch name Arbitrary name assigned to switch by administrator.
  • Page 362 Tunneling Technique for enabling source and destination hosts to communicate when on same type of network, but connected by a different type of network. U_Port Universal Port. Switch port that can operate as G_Port, E_Port, F_Port, or FL_Port. A port is defined as a U_Port if not connected, or if it has not assumed a specific function in the fabric.
