SANbox Simple Network Management Protocol

Reference Guide

A

Management Information Base

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. (True / False)

Node Loop Port. A Fibre Channel device 
port that supports arbitrated loop protocol.

Node Port. A Fibre Channel device port in 
a point-to-point or fabric connection.

Network Management Station

The console through which an adminis-
trator performs management functions.

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. (True / False).

An addressable entity connected to an I/O 
bus or network. Used primarily to refer to 
computers, storage devices, and storage 
subsystems. The component of a node 
that connects to the bus or network is a 
port.

In the context of access control, an entity 
to which access is controlled and/or usage 
of which is restricted to authorized 
subjects. 

Quality of Service

Power On Self Test

Diagnostics that the switch chassis 
performs at start up.

A device that can communicate only with 
other devices on the same loop.

A loop of private devices connected to a 
single switch port.

Read Community Authentication. A 
write-only field; the value on the switch 
and the SNMP management server must 
be the same. The default value is Public.

Internet-related specifications, including 
standards, experimental definitions, infor-
mational documents and best practice 
definitions, produced by the IETF.

Switch management application.

Small Form-Factor transceiver.

Small Form-Factor Pluggable. A trans-
ceiver device, smaller than a GigaBit Inter-
face Converter, that plugs into the Fibre 
Channel port.
