Brocade SAN Glossary

Node Loop port. A port supporting the Arbitrated Loop protocol.

A Fibre Channel device that supports one or more ports.

The number of nodes attached to the fabric.

A 64-bit unique identifier assigned to a Fibre Channel node.

A category of laser transceiver that does not require open fiber control due

to its low intensity.

AL_PA cannot be acquired.

Non-Operational Primitive Sequence. Used during link initialization between

two N_Ports in the point-to-point topology, or an N_Port and F_Port in the

fabric topology. It is sent to indicate that the transmitting port has detected a

link failure or is offline. An OLS is the expected response.

N_Port ID Virtualization. Allows a single FC_Port to appear as multiple,

distinct ports providing separate port identification and security zoning with

the fabric for each operating system image as if each one had its own

physical port.

A port used as a source and destination address for frames traversing a

backbone fabric. A normal E_Port (not an EX_Port) is used to connect a

Multiprotocol Router to a backbone. An NR_Port appears to the rest of the

backbone as a standard N_Port connected to the Multiprotocol Router

domain.

Name Server Cache Manager. Updates the NS databases across switches as

a background task.

Node port that can operate as either an N_Port or NL_Port.

Open Fiber Control. A method used to enable and disable laser signaling for

higher-intensity laser transceivers.

Offline Primitive Sequence. Used during link initialization between two

N_Ports in a point-to-point topology or an F_Port and an N_Port in a fabric. It

is sent to indicate that the transmitting port is attempting to initialize a link,

has recognized the NOS primitive sequence, or is going offline. The expected

response to an OLS is an LR.

Online Transaction Processing.

Open Primitive Signal. Applies only to Arbitrated Loop, and is sent by an

L_Port that has won the arbitration process to open communication with one

or more ports on the loop.

A set of 4 characters beginning with a special character used to manage

frame transport, initialization, and media access, and to distinguish Fibre

Channel control information from data.

The Nx_Port that originated an exchange.
