Finisar Brocade Fabric Watch 用户手册

The transmission of data from a single source to all devices in the fabric, 
regardless of zoning. See also Multicast, Unicast.

The combined manual for the software products Brocade Extended Fabrics and 
Brocade Remote Switch (“Distributed Fabrics” is not a software product). See 
also Brocade Extended Fabrics, Brocade Remote Switch.

TM

A Brocade product that runs on Fabric OS and allows creation of a fibre channel 
fabric interconnected over distances of up to 100 kilometers. See also Brocade 
Distributed Fabrics.

TM

A Brocade product that consists of a set of APIs that allow third party applications 
to interface with Fabric OS.

TM

A Brocade feature that enables private and public hosts to access public targets 
anywhere on the fabric, provided they are in the same Fabric Assist zone. This 
feature is available only when both Brocade QuickLoop and Brocade Zoning are 
installed on the switch.

TM

A Brocade product that works in conjunction with Web Tools to provide a 
graphical user interface for managing switch groups (such as the SilkWorm 6400) 
as a single unit, instead of as separate switches. Fabric Manager is installed on 
and run from a computer workstation.

TM

A Brocade product that runs on Fabric OS and allows monitoring and 
configuration of fabric and switch elements. 

TM

A Brocade feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined 
bandwidth of up to four ISLs (between adjacent switches), while preserving in-
order delivery. A set of trunked ISLs is called a trunking group; each port 
employed in a trunking group is called a trunking port. See also Master Port.

TM

A Brocade product that provides error and performance information to the 
administrator and end user for use in storage management.

TM

A Brocade product that makes it possible to allow private devices within loops to 
communicate with public and private devices across the fabric through the 
creation of a larger loop.
May also refer to the arbitrated loop created using this software. A QuickLoop 
can contain a number of devices or looplets; all devices in the same QuickLoop 
share a single AL_PA space.

TM

A Brocade product that runs on Fabric OS and enables two SilkWorm 2000 fabric 
switches to be connected over an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) connection. 
This requires a compatible fibre channel to ATM gateway, and can have a distance 
of up to 10 kilometers between each switch and the respective ATM gateway. See 
also Brocade Distributed Fabrics.

TM

A Brocade product that runs on Fabric OS and allows monitoring, configuring, 
and maintenance of the Brocade SilkWorm Switch family using SCSI-3 
Enclosure Services. 

TM

A Brocade product that runs on Fabric OS and provides a graphical interface to 
allow monitoring and management of individual switches or entire fabrics from a 
standard workstation.
