iSR6200 Router Manager User's Guide driver The software that interfaces between the file system and a physical data storage device or network media. E_Port Expansion port. A port in a Fibre Channel switch that connects to another Fibre Channel switch or bridge device by an inter-switch link. E_Ports are used to link Fibre Channel switches to form a multi-switch fabric. EEPROM Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. Memory that can be erased (entirely, not selectively) using higher electrical voltages. electrically erasable programmable read-only memory See EEPROM. 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. Ethernet The most widely used LAN technology that transmits information between computer, typically at speeds of 10 and 100 million bits per second (Mbps). expansion port See E_Port. F_Port The fabric port in a Fibre Channel fabric switch provides a point-to-point link attachment to a single N_Port. F_Ports are intermediate ports in virtual point-to-point links between end ports, such as N_Port to F_Port to F_Port to N_Port using a single Fibre Channel fabric switch. fabric A fabric consists of cross-connected Fibre Channel devices and switches. fabric loop port See FL_Port. fabric port A F_Port or FL_Port. 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, Red Hat Linux, and SUSE Linux. (Windows XP and Windows Server 2008 do not support failover.)
