Term

Definition

ACL

Access Control List--refers to a target node.

broadcast domain

PCs and servers send (broadcast) information out through an Ethernet domain.

 

Switches and routers may connect domains, but may not share information across

 

domains.

CHAP

Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol: If CHAP is enabled, the target

 

requires the initiator to negotiate CHAP authentication using the CHAP secrets

 

(passwords). An initiator may reject this negotiation.

DHCP

As defined in RFC 2131, a protocol which assigns IP addresses to devices on a

 

local area network. The iPBridge is set up by default to request an IP address from

 

the DHCP server.

firmware

Software stored in read-only memory (ROM) or programmable ROM (PROM);

 

firmware is often responsible for the behavior of a system when it is first switched

 

on

IETF

Internet Engineering Task Force: The standards body responsible for Internet

 

standards such as SNMP and TCP/IP through a community of network designers,

 

operators, vendors and researchers concerned with the evolution and smooth

 

operation of the Internet

initiator device

A component which originates a command

iSCSI

Internet SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), a protocol to link data storage

 

facilities over the Internet or an intranet developed by the Internet Engineering Task

 

Force (IETF); carries SCSI commands over IP networks to facilitate data transfers

 

over intranets and manage storage over long distances

LUN

Logical Unit Number: an identifier of a device

NAS

Network Attached Storage: storage elements connected to a network to provide file

 

access services to computer systems; an NAS Storage Element includes an

 

engine to implement the file services and one or more devices to store data; NAS

 

elements may be attached to any type of network; an NAS host system uses a file

 

system device driver to access data and NAS systems interpret these commands

 

to execute the necessary internal file and device I/O operations

SCSI

Small Computer Systems Interface: a processor-independent standard for system-

 

level interface between a computer and intelligent devices including hard disks,

 

tape, floppy disks, CD-ROM, printers, scanners, etc.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol: a standard for monitoring and managing

 

systems and devices in a network; data is defined by a MIB; functions supported

 

include the request and retrieval of data

SNTP

Simple Network Time Protocol: uses a server to set the time and date over the

 

Ethernet port.

Target Node

iSCSI synonym for zone

zone

a group of mapped target devices which has a name, its own access control list,

 

and its own CHAP secrets
