Overview

The 400 MP Router is a 1 Unit (U) switch with 16 Fibre Channel SFP ports and 2 physical Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports. It is compatible with the entire HP StorageWorks product family. It can operate independently or in a fabric containing multiple switches.

This switch is intended as a platform for Fibre Channel Routing Services and Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP). Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on configuring these features.

The 400 MP Router provides the following features:

• Rack mountable 1U chassis
  • 2 redundant, hot-swappable power supplies
  • 3 internal temperature sensors
• 3 redundant, hot-swappable fan FRUs. Each fan FRU has two fans (for a total of 6 fans). Only one fan speed is displayed per FRU using the fanShow command
• 16 Fibre Channel SFP ports supporting Fibre Channel Routing Services with link speeds up to 1-, 2-, or 4-Gbit/sec
• 2 GbE ports supporting the FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services features with link speeds up to 1-Gbit/sec:
  • Each GbE port can support up to 8 FCIP tunnels
  • Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed as an Fibre Channel E_Port
• Fibre Channel Routing Services functionality can be used over the FCIP link
• Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports are used in an Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges but the EX_Port attached to edge fabrics do not merge. For more information see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

Ports summary

The first 16 Fibre Channel ports are physical ports on the 400 MP Router, Ports 16-23 are virtual ports associated with the GE0 physical GbE link and ports 24-31 are virtual ports associated with GE1 physical GbE link. The GbE ports are displayed as ge0 and ge1 and are not assigned port numbers or area numbers.

Installation and safety considerations

You can install the 400 MP Router in the following ways:

- As a standalone unit on a flat surface. For instructions and more information, see "Setting up the 400 MP Router as a standalone unit" on page 18.

To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure that the following requirements are met:

• The primary AC input is 100-240 VAC (switch autosenses input voltage), 47-63 Hz.
• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.

For power supply information, see "Power supply specifications" on page 47.

To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the nonport side, which contains the air intake vents, facing a cool-air aisle.

Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40 × C ( 104 × F ) and that the ambient humidity remains between 20% and 85% while the switch is operating.

If installing the switch in a cabinet:

• The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
- Plan a cabinet space that is 1U (1.75 in.; 4.44 cm), 19 in. (48.3 cm) wide, and at least 24 in. (61cm) deep.
- Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, like a power strip.
- Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly.
- Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet's weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way.
- Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.

Items included with the 400 MP Router

The following items are included with the standard shipment of the 400 MP Router:

• The 400 MP Router switch, containing three fan assemblies and two power supplies
  • HP StorageWorks SAN Switch rack mount kit

• One accessory kit, containing the following items:

- Rubber mounting feet (to be used when setting up the 400 MP Router as a standalone unit)

- Two grounded 6-ft (approximately 1.83 m) power cords.

• Power plug type is NEMA5-15
• Power plug current/voltage rating: 15A/125V
- Cordage type: SVT
- Current rating/wire gauge: 10A/ 18AWG
- Connector at system end of cordset: IEC 60320/ C13

- One RJ-45 serial cable, 10-ft (approximately 3 m) long. The 400 MP Router uses an RJ-45 connector for serial port. An RJ-45 to DB9 adaptor is also provided with the switch.

Setting up the 400 MP Router as a standalone unit

The 400 MP Router can be configured as a standalone unit, which means that it resides outside of a rack.

To configure the 400 MP Router as a standalone unit:

1. Unpack the 400 MP Router and verify that all ordered items are present.
2. Clean the four corner depressions on the bottom of the switch and place a rubber foot in each one. This helps prevent the switch from accidentally sliding off the supporting surface.
3. Place the switch on a stable, flat surface.

Installing the 400 MP Router in an HP rack using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit

This section provides instructions for installing the SAN Switch in an HP custom rack, as follows:

• HP System/e rack
  • HP 10000 series rack
  • HP 10000 G2 series rack

For optimal cable management, HP recommends that you install the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit to allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the rack. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 7.62 cm (3 in.) back from the edge of the rack, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.

Required hardware for installing in an HP rack

The following items are required to install the 400 MP Router in a rack:

• 400 MP Router
  • Power cables
  • #2 Phillips screwdriver
  • 7/16-inch wrench or socket

The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit rails and rail mounting hardware are listed in Table 3.

Table 3 Rack Mount Kit rails and rail mounting hardware

Item Description
	(2) rear mounting brackets
	A right inner rail and a right outer rail
	A left inner rail and a left outer rail
	(14) #8-32 x 3/16-inch Phillips pan-head screws with thread lock for the SAN Switch 4/32 only.
	(14) 8-32 x 5/16-inch Phillips pan-head SEMS screws for use with the 400 MP Router (requires ten, five on each side, to attach right and left rails)

	(8) #10 alignment washers
	(8) #10 adapter washers
	(2) 1/4-20 hex nuts with captive star lock washers
	(2) 1/4-inch flat washers

CAUTION: For proper air flow, the SFP media side of the 400 MP Router must face the rear of the rack. This mounting allows air to enter from the front of the rack and to exhaust at the rear of the rack, similar to other rack-mounted equipment. This prevents overheating, which can cause failures.

To install the 400 MP Router in a rack:

1. Check the contents of the shipping carton to verify that all the required parts and hardware are available.
2. Choose a mounting location in the rack for the router.
3. Attach the rear mounting brackets to the rear rack uprights by completing one of the following steps:

- For HP 10000 series racks (including the 10000 G2 series rack) assemble each of the two brackets with two #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive star lock washers and two #10 adapter washers as shown in Figure 4.

CAUTION: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set.

Powering on the switch

To power on the 400 MP Router:

1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies and then to power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure. Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6 in. available and are routed to avoid stress.
2. Power on the power supplies by setting both AC switches to the 1 symbol. The power supply LEDs display amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. The switch usually requires from 1 to 3 min to boot and complete POST.

NOTE: Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned on.

1. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the left of the port side of the switch are green.

Creating a serial connection

To create a serial connection to the 400 MP Router:

1. Remove the plug from the serial port and insert the serial cable provided with the 400 MP Router.
2. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation. If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, you can remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
3. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation.
4. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal for Windows or TERM in a UNIX environment) and configure the application as follows:

• In a Windows NT, 2000, 2003, ME, or XP environment:

- In a UNIX environment, enter the following command at the prompt:

tip /dev/ttyb -9600

Connecting to the switch using the serial connection

To log in to the switch through the serial connection:

1. Verify that the switch has completed POST. When POST is complete, the port status and switch power and status LEDs return to a standard healthy state; for information about LED signals, see "Powering Off the 400 MP Router" on page 44.
2. When the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press Enter to display the login prompt.
3. Login to the switch as admin, using the default password: password. You are prompted to change the default passwords at initial login.

Setting the switch IP address

To replace the default IP address and related information:

1. Enter the ipAddrSet command at the terminal emulator application prompt, and enter the requested information at the prompts:

switch:admin> ipaddrset
Ethernet IP Address [10.77.77.77]:10.32.53.47
Ethernet Subnetmask [255.0.0.0]:255.255.240.0
Fibre Channel IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 20.32.233.48
Fibre Channel Subnetmask [0.0.0.0]: 255.255.230.0
Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:10.32.48.1
IP address is being changed...Done.
Committing configuration...Done.
switch:admin> 

1. Optionally, verify that the address was correctly set by entering the ipAddrShow command at the prompt.
2. Record the IP address on the pull out tab (Figure 1 on page 12) provided for this purpose on the port side of the 400 MP Router.
3. If the serial port is no longer required, log out of the serial console, remove the serial cable, and replace the plug in the serial port.

Creating an Ethernet connection

To create an Ethernet connection to the 400 MP Router:

1. Remove the plug from the Ethernet port.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the switch Ethernet port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation.

NOTE: At this point, the switch can be accessed remotely, by command line or by Web Tools. Ensure that the switch is not being modified from any other connections during the remaining tasks.

Setting the switch domain ID

To set the switch domain ID:

1. Log on to the switch by telnet, using the admin account.
2. Modify the domain ID if required.

The default domain ID is 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. If the switch is connected to the fabric after is has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another switch in the fabric.

a. Disable the switch by entering the switchDisable command.
b. Enter the configure command. The command prompts display sequentially; enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value.
c. Enter y after the "Fabric param" prompt:
d. Fabric param (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
e. Enter a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous switch, if still available):
f. Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
g. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl-D to accept the remaining settings without completing all the prompts.
h. Re-enable the switch by entering the switchEnable command.

Installing the SFPs and cables

To install the SFPs and cables:

1. Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports, as required. The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

a. Remove the plugs from the ports to be used.
b. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.

For instructions specific to the type of transceiver, see the transceiver manufacturer's documentation.

NOTE: The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.

c. Repeat Steps a and b for the remaining ports, as required.

1. Connect the cables to the transceivers.

The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

△ CAUTION: A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 2 in. under full tensile load and 1.2 in. with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened.

a. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector) aligns with the slot in the transceiver. Then, insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to cable type, see the cable manufacturer's documentation.

NOTE: The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a cable does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.

b. Repeat Step a for the remaining cables as required.

1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, see "Powering Off the 400 MP Router" on page 44.

2. Verify the correct operation of the 400 MP Router by entering the switchShow command from the workstation.

Setting the switch date and time

The date and time switch settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly.

You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) switch to that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

To set the date and time of a switch:

1. Log in to the switch as admin.
2. Enter the date command at the command line using the following syntax:

date "MMDDhhmm[CC]YY"

where:

• MM is the month (01-12)
- DD is the date (01-31)
• hh is the hour (00-23)
• mm is minutes (00-59)
- CC is the century (19-20)
- YY is the year (00-99)

Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069. The date function does not support Daylight Savings Time or time zones, so changes will have to be reset manually.

switch:admin> date
Fri May 5 21:50:00 UTC 1989
switch:admin>
switch:admin> date "0624165203"
Tue Jun 24 16:52:30 UTC 2003
switch:admin> 

Synchronizing the local time with an external source

To synchronize the local time of the principal or primary FCS switch with that of an external NTP server:

1. Log in as admin.
2. Enter the tsClockServer ipaddr command.
   The ipaddr variable represents the IP address of the NTP server that the switch can access. This argument is optional; by default the value is LOCL.

switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver 132.163.135.131
switch:admin> 

Correcting the time zone of a switch

If the time of your switch(es) is off by hours (and not minutes), use the following procedure on all switches.

To set the time zone:

1. Log in as admin.

2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
   tstimezone [houroffset [, minuteoffset]]
   For Pacific Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -8,0
   For Central Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -6,0
   For Eastern Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -5,0
   The default time zone for switches is universal time conversion (UTC), which is 8 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time. Additional time zone conversions are listed later in this section.
   The parameters listed do not apply if the time zone of the switch(es) has already been changed from the default (8 hours ahead of PT).
   For more detailed information about the command parameters, see the tsTimeZone command in the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 on all switches that the time zone needs to be set.

This needs to be done only once, because the value is stored in nonvolatile memory. For U.S. time zones, use Table 4 to determine the correct parameter for the tsTimeZone command.

Table 4 tsTimeZone command parameter selection

FCIP and Fibre Channel routing services configuration

The ports on the 400 MP Router are initially set to persistently disabled.

If you want to enable the FC ports as a standard E_Port or F_port use the portcfgpersistentenable command to enable the ports.

If you are using the FC ports as EX_Ports you must configure the Fibre Channel Routing Services feature prior to enabling the ports.

The GbE ports can only be used once you have configured FCIP and enabled the VE_Ports.

See the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for detailed instructions on configuring the Fibre Channel Router ports and GbE ports on the 400 MP Router.

Verifying correct operation and backing up the configuration

To verify correct operation and backup with switch configuration:

1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, see "Powering Off the 400 MP Router" on page 44.
2. Run the portcfgpersistentenable command to activate the FC ports for FC operation.
3. Verify the correct operation of the 400 MP Router by entering the switchShow command from the workstation.

This command provides information about switch and port status.

1. Verify the correct operation of the 400 MP Router in the fabric by entering the fabricShow command from the workstation.

This command provides general information about the fabric.

1. Back up the switch configuration to an FTP server by entering the configUpload command and following the prompts.

This command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement switch if necessary.

HP recommends backing up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch. For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

Recommendations for cable management

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, such as by using cable channels or patch panels. Following is a list of recommendations:

• Plan cable management before installing the switch in a rack.
• Leave at least one meter of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.

△ CAUTION: A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 2 in. under full tensile load and 1.2 in. with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened.

3 Operating the 400 MP Router

This chapter provides the following information:

• Interpreting LED activity, page 37 next
• Interpreting POST results, page 42
- Maintaining the 400 MP Router, page 43
• Powering Off the 400 MP Router, page 44

Interpreting LED activity

System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.

There are three possible LED states:

• No light
• Steady light
• Flashing light

The lights are in one of the following colors:

• Green
• Amber

The status LEDs may display amber or flash during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete.

LEDs on the port side of the switch

The port side of the switch has the following LEDs:

• One system status LED (above) on the left side.
• One power status LED (below) on the left side.
- Ethernet speed and status LEDs.
- One port status LED for each Fibre Channel port on the switch. The port LEDs are located in the array in the same relative positions as the ports.
• One port status LED for each GbE port.

Figure 12 shows the port side LEDs on the 400 MP Router.

Interpreting POST results

POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, and during which the LEDs flash different colors.

To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were detected:

- Verify that the LEDs on the switch indicate that all components are healthy (LED patterns are described in Table 5 on page 39 and Table 6 on page 41). If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state:

- Verify that the LEDs are not set to "beacon" (this can be determined through the switchShow command or Web Tools). For information about how to turn beaconing on and off, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide or the Advanced Web Tools Administrator's Guide.

- Follow the recommended action for the observed LED behavior, as listed in Table 5 on page 39 or Table 6 on page 41.

• Verify that diagShow command displays that the diagnostic status for all ports in the switch is OK.
• Review the system log for errors. Errors detected during POST are written to the system log, which is viewed using the errShow command. For more information about this command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual. For information about specific error messages, see the Fabric OS System Error Message Reference Manual.

Maintaining the 400 MP Router

The 400 MP Router is designed for high availability and low failure; it does not require any regular physical maintenance. It includes diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units, described in the following sections.

Diagnostic tests

In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the transceivers and cables in use. The tests are implemented by command, either through a telnet session or through a terminal set up for a serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loop back plugs.

Diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1-Gbit/sec, 2-Gbit/sec, and 4-Gbit/sec. For information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

NOTE: Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during diagnostic testing.

Field replaceable units (FRUs)

You can replace the power supplies and fan assemblies onsite without the use of special tools. The power supplies and fan assemblies are keyed to ensure correct orientation during installation. Replacement instructions are provided with all replacement units ordered.

WARNING! The 400 MP Router uses two power cords. To remove all power from the switch, disconnect both power cords before servicing.

Power supplies

The two power supplies are hot-swappable. They are identical and fit into either power supply slot.

Fabric OS identifies the power supplies as follows (viewing the switch from the nonport side):

• Power supply #1 on the right
• Power supply #2 on the left

Any of the following methods can be used to determine whether a power supply requires replacing:

- Check the power supply status LED next to the On/Off switch (see "LEDs on the nonport side of the switch" on page 41).

- Enter the psShow command at the command prompt to display power supply status as shown below:
  sw7500:admin> psshow
  Power Supply #1 is OK
  V10529, TQ2H0000118 ,60-0300031-01,X2, ,SP640 ,2X,TQ2H0000
  Power Supply #2 is OK
  V10529, TQ2H0000121 ,60-0300031-01,X2, ,SP640 ,2X,TQ2H0000
  sw7500:admin> 

• In Web Tools, click the Power Status icon.

Fan Assemblies

The three fan assemblies are hot-swappable. They are identical and fit into any fan assembly slot.

Each fan assembly contains two fans, identified by Fabric OS as follows (viewing the switch from the nonport side):

• Fan assembly #1 on the right
• Fan assembly #2 in the center
• Fan assembly #3 on the left

Any of the following methods can be used to determine whether a fan assembly requires replacing:

- Check the fan status LED on the face of the fan assembly (see "LEDs on the nonport side of the switch" on page 41).

- Enter the fanShow command at the command prompt.

sw7500:admin> fanshow
Fan 1 is Ok, speed is 9507 RPM
Fan 2 is Ok, speed is 9246 RPM
Fan 3 is Ok, speed is 9246 RPM
sw7500:admin> 

• In Web Tools, click the Fan Status icon.

A Electrostatic discharge recommendations

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always make sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding methods

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an HP authorized reseller install the part.

NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or for assistance with product installation, contact your HP authorized reseller.

Fabric mode: F Connected to a port that is not loop capable, and using fabric protocol.

Loop mode: In an arbitrated loop and using loop protocol. An L_Port in loop mode can also be in participating mode or non-participating mode.

latency The period of time required to transmit a frame, from the time it is sent until it arrives. Together, latency and bandwidth define the speed and capacity of a link or system.

link As applies to Fibre Channel, a physical connection between two ports, consisting of both transmit and receive fibres.

node A Fibre Channel device that contains an N_Port or NL_Port.
non-participating mode	A mode in which an L_Port in a loop is inactive and cannot arbitrate or send frames, but can retransmit any received transmissions. This mode is entered if there are more than 127 devices in a loop and an AL_PA cannot be acquired.
Nx_Port	A node port that can operate as either an N_Port or NL_Port.
packet	A set of information transmitted across a network.
participating mode	A mode in which an L_Port in a loop has a valid AL_PA and can arbitrate, send frames, and retransmit received transmissions.
path selection	The selection of a transmission path through the fabric. HP switches use the FSPF protocol.
phantom address	An AL_PA value that is assigned to an device that is not physically in the loop. Also known as phantom AL_PA.
phantom device	A device that is not physically in an arbitrated loop but is logically included through the use of a phantom address.
PLOGI	Port login. The port-to-port login process by which initiators establish sessions with targets.
point-to-point A Fibre Channel topology that employs direct links between each pair of communicating entities.
port cage The metal casing extending out of the Fibre Channel port on the switch, and into which a GBIC or SFP transceiver can be inserted.
Port_Name	The unique identifier assigned to a Fibre Channel port. Communicated during login and port discovery.
POST Power On Self-Test. A series of tests run by a switch after it is powered on.
primary FCS switch	Primary fabric configuration server switch. The switch that actively manages the configuration and security parameters for all switches in the fabric.
private loop An arbitrated loop that does not include a participating FL_Port.
private NL_Port	An NL_Port that communicates only with other private NL_Ports in the same loop and does not log into the fabric.
public device	A device that supports arbitrated loop protocol, can interpret 8-bit addresses, and can log into the fabric.
public loop	An arbitrated loop that includes a participating FL_Port, and may contain both public and private NL_Ports.
public NL_Port	An NL_Port that logs into the fabric, can function within either a public or a private loop, and can communicate with either private or public NL_Ports.
quad A group of four adjacent ports that share a common pool of frame buffers.
R_A_TOV	Resource allocation time-out value. The maximum time a frame can be delayed in the fabric and still be delivered.
RAID	Redundant Array Of Independent Disks. A collection of disk drives that appear as a single volume to the server and are fault tolerant through mirroring or parity checking.
request rate The rate at which requests arrive at a servicing entity.
route	As applies to a fabric, the communication path between two switches. May also apply to the specific path taken by an individual frame, from source to destination.
routing	The assignment of frames to specific switch ports, according to frame destination.
RR_TOV	Resource recovery time-out value. The minimum time a target device in a loop waits after a LIP before logging out a SCSI initiator.
RSCN	Registered state change notification. A switch function that allows notification of fabric changes to be sent from the switch to specified nodes.
SAN	Storage Area Network. A network of systems and storage devices that communicate using Fibre Channel protocols.
SDRAM	The main memory for the switch.
sequence	A group of related frames transmitted in the same direction between two N_Ports.
service rate	The rate at which an entity can service requests.
single mode	The fiber optic cabling standard that corresponds to distances of up to 10 km between devices.
SNMP	Simple Network Management Protocol. An internet management protocol that uses either IP for network-level functions and UDP for transport-level functions, or TCP/IP for both. Can be made available over other protocols, such as UDP/IP, because it does not rely on the underlying communication protocols.
SNS Simple Name	Server. A switch service that stores names, addresses, and attributes for up to 15 minutes, and provides them as required to other devices in the fabric. SNS is defined by Fibre Channel standards and exists at a well-known address. May also be referred to as directory service.
switch	Hardware that routes frames according to Fibre Channel protocol and is controlled by software.
switch port	A port on a switch. Switch ports can be E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports.
SWL Short wavelength.	A type of fiber optic cabling that is based on 850mm lasers and supports link speeds up to 2 Gbit/sec. May also refer to the type of transceiver.
tenancy	The time from when a port wins arbitration in a loop until the same port returns to the monitoring state. Also referred to as loop tenancy.
throughput	The rate of data flow achieved within a cable, link, or system. Usually measured in bps (bits per second).
topology	As applies to Fibre Channel, the configuration of the Fibre Channel network and the resulting communication paths allowed. There are three possible topologies: Point-to-point: A direct link between two communication ports. Switched fabric: Multiple N_Ports linked to a switch by F_Ports. Arbitrated loop: Multiple NL_Ports connected in a loop
transmission character	A 10-bit character encoded according to the rules of the 8b/10b algorithm.
transmission word	A group of four transmission characters.
trap (SNMP)	The message sent by an SNMP agent to inform the SNMP management station of a critical error.
U_Port	Universal port. A switch port that can operate as a G_Port, E_Port, F_Port, or FL_Port. A port is defined as a U_Port when it is not connected or has not yet assumed a specific function in the fabric.
well-known address	As pertaining to Fibre Channel, a logical address defined by the Fibre Channel standards as assigned to a specific function, and stored on the switch.
workstation	A computer used to access and manage the fabric. May also be referred to as a management station or host.
WWN	World Wide Name. An identifier that is unique worldwide. Each entity in a fabric has a separate WWN.

zone A set of devices and hosts attached to the same fabric and configured as being in the same zone. Devices and hosts within the same zone have access permission to others in the zone, but are not visible to any outside the zone.

zone configuration A specified set of zones. Enabling a configuration enables all zones in that configuration.
