NOTE: A world wide name (WWN) consists of a world wide node name (WWNN) and one or more WWPNs. References in this guide to WWN actually refer to the WWPN. Sun StorEdge SANbox Manager GUI 1.

Glossary Activity LED A port LED that indicates when frames are entering or leaving the port. Alias A collection of objects that can be zoned together. An alias is not a zone, and can not have a zone or another alias as a member. ALFairness On an arbitrated loop, the switch is always highest priority when arbitrating for the right to transfer.

Glossary E-Port Expansion port. A switch port that connects to another FC-SW-2 compliant switch. Expansion Port See E-Port. ExtCredit Allows full speed operation over distances greater than 10 kilometers. Additional credit buffers are borrowed from other ports (which must be set to donor state). Decimal value 0–65535. Fabric Management Switch The switch through which the fabric is managed. Fabric Name User-defined name associated with the file that contains user list data for the fabric.

Glossary ISLSecurity ISLSecurity determines which switches a port will establish a link with. Any: we will link with any switch. Ours: we will only link to another QLogic switch. None: the port will not establish an ISL link. LCFEnable LCFEable gives preference to link control frames (such as class 2 ACK frames) over other frames, when queued for transmission in the switch. This may provide better performance when running Class 2 traffic.

Glossary Private Loop A loop of private devices connected to a single switch port. Target A storage device that responds to an initiator device. pwwn Port world wide name. See World Wide Port Name. Timeout Values The timeout values (TOV) required by the FC-SW-2 standard to successfully establish an E-port connection. R_A_TOV Resource-allocation timeout value SAN Storage area network SANbox Manager Switch management application SFF Small form-factor transceiver SFP Small form-factor pluggable.
