Glossary

class of Fibre Channel service

Defines the level of connection dedication, acknowledgment, and other characteristics of a

connection.

Class F Fibre Channel service

Used by switches to communicate across interswitch links (ISLs) to configure, control, and

coordinate a multi-switch fabric.

Class 2 Fibre Channel service

Provides a connectionless (not dedicated) service with notification of delivery or nondelivery

between two N_Ports. In-order delivery of frames is not guaranteed.

Class 3 Fibre Channel service

Provides a connectionless (not dedicated) service without notification of delivery or

nondelivery between two N_Ports. Also known as datagram.

community profile

Information that specifies which management objects are available to what management

domain or SNMP community name

concurrent firmware upgrade

The CTP card provides two nonvolatile memory regions. Because two firmware versions can

be stored on the card, firmware is upgraded without disrupting switch operation. Note that the

CTP card on this switch is an internal component and not a FRU.

concurrent maintenance

Ability to perform maintenance tasks, such as removal or replacement of field-replaceable

units, while a hardware product is operating.

configuration data

Configuration data includes: identification data, port configuration data, operating parameters,

SNMP configuration, and zoning configuration. A configuration back up file is required to

restore configuration data if the CTP card in a nonredundant switch or switch is removed and

replaced.

configuration report

An ASCII text file containing all current user-definable configuration options.

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 to the dedicated

bandwidth that is required in a Class 1 Fibre Channel Service point-to-point link.
