摘要： N_Ports and F_Ports are provided with logic allowing designation of multiple virtual interfaces on a single host bus adaptor or other Fiber Channel interface, one virtual interface for each VSAN operating on the node interface. Node ports with this additional functionality are referred to as trunking N_Ports or TN_Ports. These ports have a functional design allowing creation of the multiple virtual interfaces as appropriate for the application at hand. This port design also includes logic for communicating with a peer fabric port to initialize and modify the configuration of the virtual interfaces on the TN_Port. A corresponding functional design and communication logic is provided for fabric ports, referred to herein as trunking F_Ports or TF_Ports.

摘要： Methods and devices are provided for detecting whether peer ports interconnecting two network devices can perform a novel protocol called Exchange Peer Parameters (“EPP”). If the peer ports are so configured to perform EPP, EPP services are exchanged between the peer ports. In a first phase, information is exchanged about peer port configurations of interest. In a second phase, the results of the exchange of information are applied to hardware and/or software of the respective ports, as needed.

摘要： A port shutdown protocol coordinates among various components involved in the process of administratively bringing down a link at both ends of a link connecting two switches. Execution of the protocol avoids or reduces frame drops and/or reordering. In this protocol, peer switches perform various actions when bringing down an ISL in a synchronized manner. In one implementation, this protocol uses the Exchange Peer Protocol (EPP) as the underlying transport to carry the port shutdown protocol frames.

摘要： The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods for providing an improved user interface for mobile devices. A user interface can obtain content including data and associated tasks from a set of software applications. Consequently, users can access content from multiple applications without navigating away from the user interface. The system architecture is extensible, providing for the addition of applications and user interfaces without requiring modification of the existing applications or user interfaces. Applications can register data suppliers capable of retrieving data from the underlying data store for the application and task executors capable of acting on the data. A user interface can generate a query requesting a class of data and specifying a context used to filter possible results. The system can determine the appropriate data suppliers, distribute queries and return the assembled results to the user interface.
