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. LCFEable is incompatible
with MFSEnable, and both cannot be
selected.
LIP
Loop initialization primitive sequence
Logged-in LED
A port LED that indicates device login or
loop initialization status.
Management Information Base
A set of guidelines and definitions for the
Fibre Channel functions.
Management Workstation
PC workstation that manages the fabric
through the fabric management switch.
MIB
Management information base
MSEnable
Determines whether GS-3 management
server commands will be accepted on the
port. It can be used to prevent in-band
management of the switch on any or all
ports.
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.
NoClose
Causes the switch to keep the loop open,
if no other device is arbitrating. It is
intended to improve performance when
there is a single L_Port device connected
to the switch.
Output Power LED
A power supply LED that indicates that the
power supply is providing DC voltage to
the switch
Over Temperature LED
A chassis LED or a power supply LED that
indicates that the switch or power supply is
overheating.
POST
Power-on self-test
Power-On Self-Test
Diagnostics that the switch chassis
performs at start up.
Principal Switch
A switch that has been selected to perform
certain fabric configuration duties.
Private Device
A device that can communicate only with
other devices on the same loop.
