concurrent firmware
upgrade
Firmware is upgraded without disrupting switch operation.
configuration data
The collection of data that results from configuring product and
system operating parameters. For example, configuring operating
parameters, simple network management protocol (SNMP) agent,
zoning configurations, and port configurations through the Element
Manager application, results in a collection of configuration data.
Configuration data includes: identification data, port configuration
data, operating parameters, simple network management protocol
(SNMP) configuration, and zoning configuration. A configuration
backup file is required to restore configuration data if the control
processor (CTP) card in a nonredundant ED-5000 Director is removed
and replaced.
connectionless
Nondedicated link. Typically used to describe a link between nodes
which allows the switch to forward Class 2 or Class 3 frames as
resources (ports) allow. Contrast this with the dedicated bandwidth
that is required in a Class 1 Fibre Channel Service (FC-1)
point-to-point link.
connectivity
The ability of devices to link together.
connectivity attribute
In FICON management style, the characteristic that determines port
address status for the director or switch.
