IKE Policy
An IKE profile that defines the type of data 
traffic to secure between the switch and 
the peer, and how to encrypt that data. 
See Internet Key Exchange (IKE).
Inband Management
The ability to manage a switch through 
another switch over an inter-switch link.
Initiator
The device that initiates a data exchange 
with a target device.
In-Order Delivery
A feature that requires that frames be 
received in the same order in which they 
were sent.
Input Power LED
A chassis LED that indicates that the 
switch logic circuitry is receiving the 
correct DC voltages.
Inter-Fabric Zone (IFZ)
A zone that is used to map local devices to 
devices on a remote Brocade or Cisco 
fabric across a TR_Port. The zone 
membership consists of the port WWNs of 
the local device, the remote device, and 
the TR_Port. The zone name is a concate-
nation of the IFZ prefix, the lowest WWN, 
and the remaining WWN, separated by 
underscores (_).
Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
A protocol that automates the sharing of 
encryption keys and algorithms through 
the configuration of matching IP security 
associations on the switch and on the 
connected device or peer. See IKE Peer 
and IKE Policy.
Inter-Switch Link
The connection between two switches 
using E_Ports.
IP Security
Encryption-based security for IPv4 and 
IPv6 communications through security 
policies and security associations. See 
Security Association and Security Policy.
License Key
A code associated with a 
separately-purchased feature that 
activates that feature on the switch.
LIP
Loop Initialization Primitive
Maintenance Button
Momentary button on the switch used to 
reset the switch or place the switch in 
maintenance mode.
Maintenance Mode
Maintenance mode sets the IP address to 
10.0.0.1, and provides access to the 
switch for maintenance purposes.
Management Information Base
A set of guidelines and definitions for 
SNMP functions.
Management Workstation
PC workstation that manages the fabric 
through the fabric management switch.
Mesh Topology
A fabric in which each chassis has at least 
one port directly connected to every other 
chassis in the fabric.
MIB
