MIB

Management Information Base

Multistage Topology

A fabric in which two or more edge switches connect to one or more core switches.

NL_Port

Node Loop Port. A Fibre Channel device port that supports arbitrated loop protocol.

N_Port

Node Port. A Fibre Channel device port in a point-to-point or fabric connection.

Output Power LED

A power supply LED that indicates that the power supply is providing DC voltage to the switch. Applies only to SANbox2-16 and SANbox2-64 switches.

Over Temperature LED

A chassis LED or a power supply LED that indicates that the switch or power supply is overheating.

Pending Firmware

The firmware image that will be activated upon the next switch reset.

Port Status LED

A dual-function port LED on a SANbox2-64 switch that indicates device login or loop initialization status, and port activity.

POST

Power On Self Test

Power On Self Test (POST)

Diagnostics that the switch chassis performs at start up.

Principal Switch

The switch in the fabric that manages domain ID assignments.

SANbox Manager

Switch management application.

Security Set

A set of up to three groups with no more than one of each group type: ISL, Port, or MS. The active security set defines the device security for a switch.

SFP

Small Form-Factor Pluggable.

Small Form-Factor Pluggable

A transceiver device, smaller than a GigaBit Interface Converter, that plugs into the Fibre Channel port.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol

Soft Zone

Soft zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery. Members of the same soft zone automatically discover and communicate freely with all other members of the same zone.
