Gb Gigabit
1,062,500,000 bits
per second.
GB GigaByte
GLM
An acronym for the
Gigabaud Link Module; a
semipermanent transceiver that
incorporates serializing/
deserializing functions.
H
HBA
Host Bus Adapter; an
interface between a server/
workstation bus and the Fibre
Channel network.
hub
A wiring concentrator that
collapses a loop topology into a
physical star topology.
HVDS
High Voltage Differential
SCSI
I
initiator
Within a Fibre Channel
network, typically a server or a
workstation that initiates
transactions to disk/tape targets.
IP
Internet Protocol
IPL
Initial Program Load
ISP
Internet Service Provider
M
MIB
Management Information
Base; an SNMP structure for
device mnagement.
multicast
Refers to delivering a
single transmission to multiple
destination N_ports.
N
narrow SCSI
50-pin SCSI
connector; can be single-ended or
differential in implementation.
non-OFC
An acronym for Non
Open-Ended Fibre Control. This
approach does not drop the laser
power when a cable link is
dropped. Non-OFC uses a lower
power laser than an OFC system.
node
A Fibre Channel entity that
supports one or more ports.
N_Port
A Fibre channel port in a
point-to-point or fabric connection.
O
OFC
An acronym for Open-Ended
Fibre Control. When a cable link is
dropped, the laser drops to
eliminate the potential for eye
damage.
originator
A Fibre Channel term
that refers to the initiating device.
