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.
