Initiators request data fromtargets. Targets are typically disk-drives,tape-drives, or other media devices.Typically a SCSI peripheral device is thetarget but an adapter may, in some cases,be a target. A target can contain manyLUNs.A target is a device that responds to arequested by an initiator (the host system).Peripherals are targets, but for somecommands (for example, a SCSI COPYcommand), the peripheral may act as aninitiator.TelnetTelecommunication network. A networkprotocol used on the Internet or local areanetwork (LAN) connections. Telnetprovides access to a command line interface(CLI) on a remote machine.virtual logical area network (LAN)See VLAN.virtual port groupSee VPGs.VLANVirtual logical area network (LAN). A groupof hosts with a common set of requirementsthat communicate as if they wereattached to the same wire, regardless oftheir physical location. Although a VLANhas the same attributes as a physical LAN,it allows for end stations to be groupedtogether even if they are not located on thesame LAN segment. VLANs enablenetwork reconfiguration through software,instead of physically relocating devices.ISR651101-00 G Glossary-9
