time-out value [E_D_TOV], resource allocation time-out value [R_A_TOV],

switch priority, and preferred domain ID).

■ SNMP configuration information, including trap recipients, community

names, and write authorizations.

■ Zoning configuration information, including the active zone set and default

zone state.
