Port Ports are access points in a device where a link

attaches. There are four types of ports, as follows:

N_Port is a Fibre Channel device port that supports

point-to-point topology.

NL_Port is a Fibre Channel device port that supports

loop topology.

F_Port is a port in a fabric where an N_Port can attach.

FL_Port is a port in a fabric where an NL_Port can

attach.

SAN SAN stands for storage area network, which consists

of multiple storage units and servers connected by

networking topology.

SCSI SCSI stands for small computer system interface. The

original SCSI specification was a hardware bus

specification and a packet-oriented protocol

specification for communicating on that bus. SCSI over

Fibre Channel uses the packet-oriented protocol to

communicate with storage devices on the Fibre

Channel.

Target binding Target binding refers to the process in which the HBA

driver binds a target ID using a target’s world wide port

name (WWPN) or port ID. This enables the target ID to

always connect to the WWPN or port ID across reboots

regardless of SAN reconfigurations.
