Glossary ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode. A transport used for transmitting data over LANs or WANs that transmit fixed-length units of data. Provides any-to-any connectivity, and allows nodes to transmit simultaneously. Auto-negotiate Speed Process that allows two devices at either end of a link segment to negotiate common features, speed (e.g., 1 or 2 Gbps) and functions. Autosense Process during which a network device automatically senses the speed of another device. AW_TOV Arbitration Wait Time-out Value. The minimum time an arbitrating L_Port waits for a response before beginning loop initialization. Backup FCS Switch Backup fabric configuration server switch. The switch or switches assigned as backup in case the primary FCS switch fails. See also FCS switch, primary FCS switch. Bandwidth The total transmission capacity of a cable, link, or system. Usually measured in bps (bits per second). May also refer to the range of transmission frequencies available to a network. See also throughput. BB_Credit Buffer-to-buffer credit. The number of frames that can be transmitted to a directly connected recipient or within an arbitrated loop. Determined by the number of receive buffers available. See also Buffer-to-buffer Flow Control, EE_Credit. Beacon When all the port LEDs on a switch are set to flash from one side of the switch to the other, to enable identification of an individual switch in a large fabric. A switch can be set to beacon by telnet command or through Web Tools. Beaconing The state of the switches LEDs when the switch is set to Beacon. See also Beacon.
