A single interface between a central processor and one or more control units, along which signals and data are sent to perform I/O requests (D). CHPID. In a channel subsystem, a value assigned to each channel path of the system that uniquely identifies the path (D). See also channel-to-channel. CSS. A collection of subchannels that direct the flow of information between I/O devices and main storage, relieve the processor of communication tasks, and perform path management functions (D). CTC. A channel attached to another channel (channel-to-channel) and specifies the I/O mode of operation for the channel path under the I/O configuration program (IOCP) channel path identifier (CHPID) statement 'Type' parameter (D). See also channel path identifier. A diagnostic procedure that checks S/390 host-to-director or host-to-switch connectivity by returning the output of the host as input. The test is host-initiated and transmits Fibre Channel frames to a director or switch port. A director or switch port enabled for channel wrapping echoes the frame back to the host. See channel path. Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) provides a type of authentication between an agent (typically a network server) and the client program. Both share a predefined secret, which they verify during an authentication login sequence. CHAP is used with RADIUS servers to provide access authentication and accounting. See channel path identifier. Provides a connectionless (not dedicated) service with notification of delivery or nondelivery between two node ports (N_Ports). Provides a connectionless (not dedicated) service without notification of delivery or nondelivery between two node ports (N_Ports). Used by switches to communicate across interswitch links (ISLs) to configure, control, and coordinate a multiswitch fabric. Defines the level of connection dedication, acknowledgment, and other characteristics of a connection. g-7
