See also error message and information message. Ethernet A widely-implemented local area network (LAN) protocol that uses a bus or star topology and served as the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard, which specifies the physical and software layers. Baseband LAN allows multiple station access to the transmission medium at will without prior coordination and which avoids or resolves contention. event code Code that provides the operator with information concerning events. event log Record of significant events that have occurred on the director, such as FRU failures, degraded operation, and port problems. expansion port Physical interface on a Fibre Channel switch within a fabric, that attaches to an expansion (E_Port) on another Fibre Channel switch to form a multiswitch fabric. See also segmented E_Port. explicit fabric login Data field size, supported by an F-Port, that is agreed upon during fabric login. 194 Glossary
