DNS. Domain name server.
DOS. Disk operating system.
DRAM. Dynamic random access memory
dual-power machine. A switch that contain two power supplies.
E_D_TOV. Error detect timeout value. Defines the time that the switch waits for an expected response before
declaring an error condition. The error detect time-out value is adjustable in one microsecond increments from 2
seconds up to 10 seconds.
E_port. Expansion port. A port is designated an E_port when it is used as an interswitch expansion port to connect
to the E_port of another switch, to build a larger switch fabric.
effective configuration. The particular zone configuration that is currently in effect. Only one configuration can be in
effect at once. The effective configuration is built each time a zone configuration is enabled.
EIA. Electronic Industries Association.
ELP. Extended link parameters.
Err#. The error number.
error detect time-out value. See
E_D_TOV.
ESD. Electrostatic discharge
F_port. A fabric port that is not loop capable. Used to connect an N_port to a switch.
fabric. The name applied to a network resulting from the interconnection of switches and devices comprised of
high-speed fibre connections. A fabric is an active, intelligent, nonshared interconnect scheme for nodes.
FAN. Fabric address notification.
FC. Fibre channel
FC-AL. The fibre channel arbitrated loop standard. Defined on top of the FC-PH standard. Defines the arbitration on
a loop where several FC nodes share a common medium.
FC-PH. Fibre channel physical and signalling standard.
FCA. See
fibre-channel arbitrated loop.
FCC. Federal Communications Commission.
FCP. Fibre-channel protocol.
fibre-channel arbitrated loop. A standard defined on top of the FC-PH standard. It defines the arbitration on a loop
where several FC nodes share a common medium.
FL_port. The FL_port is the fabric access port used to connect N<_ports to the switch in a loop configuration.
FLA. Fabric loop attach.
FLOGI. Fabric login. The process by which a device gains access to the fabric.
FRU. Field replaceable unit
FSPF. Fibre-channel shortest path first. A routing protocol used by fibre channel switches.
G_port. A port is designated as a G_port when it has not assumed a specific function. A G_port is a generic port that
can operate as either an E_port or an F_Port. A port is defined as a G_port when it is not yet connected or has not yet
assumed a specific function in the fabric.
