132
SNS
See Simple Name Server (SNS).
soft zone
A zone consisting of zone members that are made visible to each other through client service requests.
Typically, soft zones contain zone members that are visible to devices using Name Server exposure of
zone members. The fabric does not enforce a soft zone. Note that well-known addresses are implicitly
included in every zone.
switch
A fabric device providing bandwidth and high-speed routing of data using link-level addressing.
switch name
The arbitrary name assigned to a switch.
switch port
A port on a switch. Switch ports can be E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports. See also FL_Port.
syslog
Syslog daemon. Used to forward error messages.
TC
Track changes.
telnet
A virtual terminal emulation used with TCP/IP. Telnet is sometimes used as a synonym for the HP Fabric
OS CLI.
track changes
An HP Fabric OS feature that can be enabled to report specific activities (for example, logins, logouts,
and configuration task changes). The output from the track-changes feature is dumped to the error log for
the switch.
transceiver
A device that converts one form of signaling to another for transmission and reception; in fiber optics, the
conversion is from optical to electrical.
translate domain
A router virtual domain that represents an entire fabric. Device connectivity can be achieved from one
fabric to another, over the router and through this virtual domain, without merging the two fabrics. Also
known as phantom domain.
trap (SNMP)
The message sent by an SNMP agent to inform the SNMP management station of a critical error. See also
SNMP.
trunking
In Fibre Channel technology, a feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of
up to four ISLs between adjacent switches, while preserving in-order delivery.
trunking group
A set of up to four trunked ISLs for HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8-EL, SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch
2/16, SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch 2/32, Core Switch 2/64, and SAN Director 2/128; up to eight
for SAN Switch 4/32.
