CFN CHAP chassis CIM CIMOM circuit Class 1 service Class 2 service Class 3 service Class 4 service Class 6 service Class F service class of service CLI client CLS CM CMA CMBISR Change fabric name. An ELS field that appears in portLogDump command output. Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol. Allows remote servers and clients to securely exchange authentication credentials. Both the server and client are configured with the same shared secret. The metal frame in which the switch and switch components are mounted. Common Information Model. A management structure enabling disparate resources to be managed by a common application. CIM is implementation independent, allowing different management applications to collect the required data from a variety of sources. CIM is divided into a Core Model and Common Models. The Core Model addresses high-level concepts (such as systems and devices), as well as fundamental relationships (such as dependencies). The Common Models describe specific problem domains such as computer system, network, user or device management. The Common Models are subclasses of the Core Model and may also be subclasses of each other. Common Information Model Object Manager. A model for describing management information from the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). See also CIM. An established communication path between two ports. Consists of two virtual circuits capable of transmitting in opposite directions. The class of frame-switching service for a dedicated connection between two communicating ports. Also called connection-oriented service. Includes acknowledgement of frame delivery or nondelivery. A connectionless class of frame-switching service that includes acknowledgement of frame delivery or nondelivery. A connectionless class of frame-switching service that does not include acknowledgement of frame delivery or nondelivery. Can be used to provide a multicast connection between the frame originator and recipients, with acknowledgement of frame delivery or nondelivery. A connection-oriented service that allows fractional parts of the bandwidth to be used in a virtual circuit. A connection-oriented multicast service geared toward video broadcasts between a central server and clients. The class of frame-switching service for a direct connection between two switches, allowing communication of control traffic between the E_Ports. Includes acknowledgement of data delivery or nondelivery. A specified set of delivery characteristics and attributes for frame delivery. Command line interface. An interface that depends entirely on the use of commands, such as through telnet or SNMP, and does not involve a GUI. An entity that, using its common transport (CT), makes requests of a server. Close primitive signal. Used only in an arbitrated loop. Sent by an L_Port that is currently communicating in the loop, to close communication with another L_Port. Central memory. Physical memory that is internal to the computer. Also called main memory. Central memory architecture. An architecture centralizing memory usage in switches. Central memory built-in self-repair. 6 Glossary
