Glossary

Route

As applies to a fabric, the communication path between two switches. May also apply to the specific path taken by an individual frame, from source to destination.

Routing

The assignment of frames to specific switch ports, according to frame destination.

RR_TOV

Resource Recovery Time-out Value; the minimum time a target device in a loop waits after a LIP before logging out a SCSI initiator.

RSCN

Registered State Change Notification; a switch function that allows notification of fabric changes to be sent from the switch to specified nodes.

RX_ID

Responder Exchange Identifier. A 2-byte field in the frame header used by the responder of the Exchange to identify frames as being part of a particular exchange.

SAN

Storage Area Network; a network of systems and storage devices that communicate using Fibre Channel protocols. See also Fabric.

Sequence

A group of related frames transmitted in the same direction between two N_Ports.

Service Rate

The rate at which an entity can service requests.

Single Mode

The fiber optic cabling standard that corresponds to distances of up to 10 km between devices.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. An internet management protocol that uses either IP for network-level functions and UDP for transport-level functions, or TCP/IP for both. Can be made available over other protocols, such as UDP/IP, because it does not rely on the underlying communication protocols.

Switch Name

The arbitrary name assigned to a switch.

Switch Port

A port on a switch. Switch ports can be E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports.
