Glossary-3
P
port
The hardware entity within
a node that performs data
communications over the fibre
channel link.
protocol
A data transmission
convention encompassing timing,
control formatting, and data
representation.
R
RAID
Redundant Array of
Inexpensive Disks
receiver
A terminal device that
includes a detector and signal
processing.
S
SCSI
Small Computer Standard
Interface
single-ended SCSI
A type of
cable that is limited to short
distances because of the way the
electronic signals move down the
length of the cable.
SNMP
Simple Network
Management Protocol; a network
management protocol designed to
run over TCP/IP routed networks.
switch
A device that provides a (n
by n) interconnect to allow a port
to have full communication
bandwidth with any other port
while other communications are
occurring.
SW Optical FC Cable
A short
wave optical Fibre Channel cable.
synchronous
Simultaneous
transmission of multiple
transmissions down the SCSI
path.
T
target
Typically a disk array or a
tape subsystem on a Fibre
Channel network.
Telnet
A virtual terminal
emulation facility over TCP/IP.
terminator
An electronic device
that connects to the end of the
SCSI bus to stabilize bus signals.
topology
The logical and/or
physical arrangement of stations
on a network.
