A type of checkvalue designed to catch most transmissionerrors.CSV fileComma separated values file. Each line inthe file corresponds to a row in the table.Within a line, fields are separated bycommas, each field belonging to one tablecolumn.cyclic redundancy checkSee CRC.deviceA target, typically a disk drive. Hardwaresuch as a disk drive, tape drive, printer, orkeyboard that is installed in or connectedto a system. In Fibre Channel, a targetdevice.DHCPDynamic host configuration protocol(DHCP) enables computers on an IPnetwork to extract their configuration fromservers that have information about thecomputer only after it is requested.driverThe software that interfaces between thefile system and a physical data storagedevice or network media.DS-1Digital signal 1 (DS-1, also known as T1and DS1) is a T-carrier signaling schemethat is a widely-used standard in telecommunicationsto transmit voice and databetween devices. Technically, DS1 is thelogical bit pattern used over a physical T1line; however, the terms DS1 and T1 areoften used interchangeably.DS-3Digital signal 3 (DS-3) is a digital signallevel 3 T-carrier. It may also be referred toas a T3 line.dynamic host configuration protocolSee DHCP.E_PortExpansion port. A port in a Fibre Channelswitch that connects to another FibreChannel switch or bridge device by aninter-switch link. E_Ports are used to linkFibre Channel switches to form amulti-switch fabric.EEPROMElectrically erasable programmableread-only memory. Memory that can beerased (entirely, not selectively) usinghigher electrical voltages.Enhanced EthernetAlso called data center Ethernet orconverged enhanced Ethernet. Refers tonew enhancements to the existingEthernet standard that eliminateEthernet’s inherently lossy nature andmake 10Gb Ethernet a viable storagenetworking transport.Glossary-2ISR651101-00 G
iSR6200 Intelligent Storage RouterInstallation GuideF_PortThe fabric port in a Fibre Channel fabricswitch provides a point-to-point link attachmentto a single N_Port. F_Ports are intermediateports in virtual point-to-point linksbetween end ports, for example N_Port toF_Port to F_Port to N_Port using a singleFibre Channel fabric switch.fabricA fabric consists of cross-connected FibreChannel devices and switches.fabric portSee F_Port.fabric switchAlso, switched fabric. A fabric switchconnects multiple devices from independentFibre Channel-arbitrated loops(FC-ALs) and point-to-point topologies intoa fabric using Fibre Channel switches.failover pathSoftware feature that ensures data availabilityand system reliability by assigningalternate path and automatic adapterfailover for device resources. This featureis available only in Windows2000/Windows Server 2003/WindowsVista, Novell NetWare, and Red Hat/SUSELinux. (Windows XP and Windows Server2008 do not support failover.)FCSee Fibre Channel.FC-IP modeData transportation mode in which theiSR6200 transports Fibre Channel framesover a TCP/IP connection using the FCIPprotocol to connect two iSR6200 routers.In FC-IP mode, a port pair (one FibreChannel port and an IP port on the samerouter) on local iSR6200 and another portpair on a remote router form an FCIProute.FCIPFibre Channel over IP. Protocol thatenables transmission of Fibre Channelinformation by tunneling data on a SANover IP networks. An alternative to iSCSI.Also known as Fibre Channel tunneling.FCoEFibre Channel over Ethernet. A newtechnology defined by the T11 standardsbody that allows traditional Fibre Channelstorage networking traffic to travel over anEthernet link by encapsulating FibreChannel frames inside Layer 2 Ethernetframes.
