Arbitrated Loop Physical Address
On an arbitrated loop, the switch is always highest priority when arbitrating for the right to transfer. To prevent other devices from being locked out, the standard provides for a fairness mode, which if enabled requires an arbitrater to let all other devices win arbitration before arbing a second time. (True / False).
A collection of objects that can be zoned together. An alias is not a zone, and can not have a zone or another alias as a member.
When ARB_FF is enabled, it causes the switch to send the ARB_FF primitive when it is in monitoring mode, rather than idles. The only reason to do this is since the ARB_FF has less bit transitions than does an idle, it produces less EMI. It has no other effect. (True / False)
A Fibre Channel topology where ports use arbitration to establish a point-to-point circuit.
A unique one-byte valid value assigned during loop initialization to each NL_Port on a Loop.

Expansion port. A switch port that connects to another FC-SW-2 compliant switch
Port buffer credits can be changed on ports to accommodate connections to other typesof switches with different port buffer capacities.
Error Detect timeout value
E_Port. A switch port that connects to another FC-SW-2 compliant switch
Allows full speed operation over distances greater than 10 kilometers. Additional credit buffers are borrowed from other ports (which must be set to donor state). Decimal value 0-65535

User defined name associated with the file that contains user list data for the fabric.
Fabric Address Notification
An LED that indicates that a cooling fan in the switch is operating below standard.

Field Replaceable Unit
Gateway address
A chassis LED that indicates the status of the internal switch processor and the results of the Power On Self Test
Whether RSCN suppression is enabled or disabled.
Inband management status. Permits (True) or prevents (False) a switch from being managed over an ISL.
An LED that indicates that the switch logic circuitry is receiving proper DC voltages
This variable determines the number of credits we will advertise on an ISL. Non FC-SW-2 compliant firmware required that we match their offering (decimal value, 0-255). If you need more than 12 credits, the port must be set up as an extended credit port.
Internet Protocol
ISLSecurity determines which switches a port will establish a link with. ANY - will link with any FC-SW-2 compliant switch. OURS - will only link to another SANbox2 switch. NONE - the port will not establish an ISL link.
True / False. LCFEable gives preference to Link control frames (such as Class 2 ACK frames) over other frames when queued for transmission in the switch. This may provide better performance when running Class 2 traffic. LCFEable is incompatible with MFSEnable, and both cannot be selected.
Loop Initialization Primitive Sequence
