Provides a data model to manage the Fibre Channel (FC) Name Server, which realizes the FC-GS-6 requirements.
This module provides the means for monitoring the operation and configuring some parameters, of one or more instances of the Fibre Channel Name Server functionality.
The Fibre Channel Name Server provides a way for N_Ports and NL_Ports to register and discover Fibre Channel attributes. Such attributes include names, addresses, types, features, and so on, at various protocol layers, including upper layer protocols specific to Fibre Channel, which are sometimes referred to as FC-4s.
Physically, Fibre Channel is an interconnection of multiple communication points, called N_Ports, interconnected either by a switching network, called a fabric, or by a point-to-point link. A Fibre Channel “node” consists of one or more N_Ports. A fabric may consist of multiple Interconnect Elements, some of which are switches. An N_Port connects to the fabric by way of a port on a switch called an F_Port. When multiple FC nodes are connected to a single port on a switch by way of an Arbitrated Loop topology, the switch port is called an FL_Port, and the nodes' ports are called NL_Ports. The term Nx_Port is used to refer to either an N_Port or an NL_Port.
