An SW_ILS that ensures that merging switches have the same fabric
membership data
membership list during initialization.
expansion port
E_Port. Physical interface on a Fibre Channel switch within a fabric,
that attaches to an E_Port on another Fibre Channel switch through

fabric
Entity that interconnects node ports (N_Ports) and is capable of
