topology

With respect to FC, the configuration of the FC network and the resulting

 

communication paths allowed. There are three possible topologies:

 

Point-to-point: A direct link between two communication ports

 

Switched fabric: Multiple N_Ports linked to a switch by F_Ports

 

Arbitrated loop: Multiple NL_Ports connected in a loop

transmission

A 10-bit character encoded according to the rules of the 8b/10b algorithm.

character

 

transmission word A group of transmission characters.

trap (SNMP)

The message sent by an SNMP agent to inform the SNMP management station of a

 

critical error. See also SNMP.

U_Port

Universal port. A switch port that can operate as a G_Port, E_Port, F_Port, or FL_Port. A

 

port is defined as a U_Port when it is not connected or has not yet assumed a specific

 

function in the fabric. See also E_Port,F_Port, G_Port.

well-known

With respect to FC, a logical address defined by the FC standards as assigned to a

address

specific function and stored on the switch.

workstation

A computer used to access and manage the fabric. May also be called a management

 

station or host.

WWN

World wide name. An identifier that is unique worldwide. Each entity in a fabric has a

 

distinct WWN.

zone

A set of devices and hosts attached to the same fabric and configured as being in the

 

same zone. Devices and hosts within the same zone have access permission to others

 

in the zone, but are not visible to any outside the zone. See also defined zone

 

configuration, enabled zone configuration.

zone configuration A specified set of zones. Enabling a configuration enables all zones in that configuration. See also defined zone configuration,enabled zone configuration.
