STORAGE AREA NETWORK
Brocade SAN Glossary
A
ABTS Abort Basic Link Service.
ACC Accept link service reply; the normal reply to an Extended Link Service
request (such as FLOGI), indicating that the request has been completed.
Access fairness A process by which contending nodes are guaranteed access to an
Arbitrated Loop.
Access method The method used to access a physical medium in order to transmit data.
ACK Acknowledgement frame. Used for end-to-end flow control; verifies receipt of
one or more frames from Class 1, 2 or F services.
Active copper A Fibre Channel connection that allows copper cabling up to 33 m (108 ft) in
length between devices.
Adaptive Networking A suite of fabric services introduced in Fabric OS 6.0 that employ deep fabric
intelligence to anticipate congestion and to dynamically make adjustments
in the fabric so that application traffic continues to flow. See also QoS,
Ingress Rate Limiting, and Traffic Isolation.
AD0 A special administrative domain. When an AD-capable switch is first added
to a fabric, all relevant resources of the fabric (switches, ports, devices)
become its members automatically. These resources are put in an implicit
list as defined later. When members are added to AD0 explicitly they become
part of the explicit list as fixed members.
AD255 An administrative domain that allows users to get an unfiltered view of the
fabric and manage ADs. Corresponds to the legacy physical fabric in a non-
AD aware fabric.
AD zone database The zone database owned by each AD. Once Fabric OS 5.2.0 and later is
installed, the root zone database will be owned by AD0, and each AD will
have its own zone database.
Address identifier A 24-bit number used to indicate the link-level address of communicating
devices. In a frame header, the address identifier indicates the source ID
(S_ID) and the destination ID (D_ID) of the frame respectively.
