Glossary

This glossary deﬁnes terms used in this guide or related to this product. It is not a comprehensive glossary of computer terms.

AL_PA	Arbitrated loop physical address. A unique 8-bit value
	assigned during loop initialization to a port in an arbitrated
	loop. See also non-participating mode.
alias server	A fabric software facility that supports multicast group
	management.
API	Application programming interface. A deﬁned protocol that
	allows applications to interface with a set of services.
arbitrated loop	A shared 100 Mb/s Fibre Channel transport structured as
	a loop. Can support up to 126 devices and one fabric
	attachment. See also public device, public loop.
AW_TOV	Arbitration wait time-out value. The minimum time an arbitrating
	L_Port waits for a response before beginning loop initialization.
backup FCS switch	Backup fabric conﬁguration server switch. The switch or
	switches assigned as backup in case the primary FCS switch
	fails.
bandwidth	The total transmission capacity of a cable, link, or system.
	Usually measured in bits per second (b/s). May also refer to
	the range of transmission frequencies available to a link or
	system.
broadcast	The transmission of data from a single source to all devices in
	the fabric, regardless of zoning.
buffer-to-buffer	Management of the frame transmission rate in either a
ﬂow control	point-to-point topology or an arbitrated loop. See also
	arbitrated loop, point-to-point,topology.
CLI	Command line interface. Interface that depends entirely on the
	use of commands, such as through telnet or SNMP, and does
	not involve a GUI.
compact ﬂash	Flash (temporary) memory that is used in a manner similar to
	hard disk storage. It is connected to a bridging component that
