iSR6200 Command Line Interface (CLI) User's Guide device A target, typically a disk drive. Hardware such as a disk drive, tape drive, printer, or keyboard that is installed in or connected to a system. In Fibre Channel, a target device. driver The software that interfaces between the file system and a physical data storage device or network media. electrically erasable programmable read-only memory See EEPROM. EEPROM Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. Memory that can be erased (entirely, not selectively) using higher electrical voltages. Enhanced Ethernet Also called data center Ethernet or converged enhanced Ethernet. Refers to new enhancements to the existing Ethernet standard that eliminate Ethernet's inherently lossy nature and make 10Gb Ethernet a viable storage networking transport. fabric A fabric consists of cross-connected Fibre Channel devices and switches. fabric switch Also, switched fabric. A fabric switch connects multiple devices from independent Fibre Channel-arbitrated loops (FC-ALs) and point-to-point topologies into a fabric using Fibre Channel switches. failover path Software feature that ensures data availability and system reliability by assigning alternate path and automatic adapter failover for device resources. This feature is available only in Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003/Windows Vista, Novell NetWare, and Red Hat/SUSE Linux. (Windows XP and Windows Server 2008 do not support failover.) FC See Fibre Channel. FC-IP mode Data transportation mode in which the iSR6200 transports Fibre Channel frames over a TCP/IP connection using the FCIP protocol to connect two iSR6200 routers. In FC-IP mode, a port pair (one Fibre Channel port and an IP port on the same router) on local iSR6200 and another port pair on a remote router form a FCIP route. FCIP Fibre Channel over IP. Protocol that enables transmission of Fibre Channel information by tunneling data on a SAN over IP networks. An alternative to iSCSI. Also known as Fibre Channel tunneling. FCoE Fibre Channel over Ethernet. A new technology defined by the T11 standards body that allows traditional Fibre Channel storage networking traffic to travel over an Ethernet link by encapsulating Fibre Channel frames inside Layer 2 Ethernet frames. For more information, visit www.fcoe.com. Fibre Channel A high-speed serial interface technology that supports other higher layer protocols such as SCSI and IP. Glossary-2 ISR654601-00 D
