Intra-Loop
Communication
Range port
setting
A port setting under Stealth-3 Mode that assigns the
selected address range to the port.
LED Light-Emitting Diode. A status indicator on a hub or
switch.
LIP Loop Initialization Primitive. A sequence used to
accomplish one or more of the following objectives:
• Initiate a procedure that results in unique addressing for
all nodes.
• Indicate a loop failure.
• Reset a specific node.
Managed Switch A switch that is being updated with zoning changes by the
Managing Switch.
Managing Switch A switch on which activation or de-activation has been
initiated, and which has been granted authority to change
zoning on the fabric.

MB/s Megabytes per second, 8,192,000 bits per second.
One byte = 8 bits
Member (in
WWN Zoning)
The World Wide N_Port_Name (WWPN) for the device (or
device port) that is to be included in a Zone. Note: For a
multi-port device to be included in a Zone, each port’s
World Wide N_Port_Name must be added as a Member.
Merge Process (in
WWN Zoning)
The process by which all switches in a fabric merge their
currently enforced Zone Sets.
Multimode Fiber An optical waveguide in which typical core/cladding sizes
are 50/125 and 62.5/125 microns.
Longwave Refers to wavelength or frequency in the spectrum of light.
Specified under Fibre Channel as 1310 nm is the operating
range of long wavelength lasers. The maximum distance for
longwave is 10 kilometers.
Loop Port State
Machine (LPSM)
A logical entity which performs the Arbitrated Loop
specific protocols.
Node An entity with one or more N_Ports or NL_Ports.
OFC Optical Fiber Control. A safety interlock system that
controls the optical power level in an open fiber optic cable.
