Translative Loop Ports
(TL_Ports) Ports on the switch that allow private-to-public and public-to-private loop
connectivity. TL_Ports present private devices to a fabric as if they were public
so they can communicate with the off-loop devices, such as public devices
connected to F_Ports and FL_Ports and private devices on other TL_Port loops.
Supports the Sun StorEdge T3 arrays. Hosts recognize arrays that use TL_ports
as fabric devices.
Zone A set of ports or WWNs and their connected devices that have been grouped
together to control information exchange.
Zoning Function of the switch that allows segregation of devices. Zoning is done for a
variety of reasons, such as security, simplicity, performance, or dedication of
resources.
