Glossary
scalable The ability of a system to adapt to increased demands. A scalable
network could start with a few nodes but easily expand to thousands
of nodes.
SC duplex connector An optical fiber connector that terminates jumper cables in one
housing and provides physical attachment to a subscriber connector
(SC) duplex receptacle. SC duplex connectors provide optical port
connectivity for the ED-5000 Director and ES-1000 switch. Contrast
with
gigabit interface converter and small form factor pluggable transceiver .
serial crossbar
assembly
A printed circuit board (Intrepid-series directors only) that provides
Fibre Channel frame transmission from any director port to any other
director port. Connections are established without software
intervention.
Session Log A log recorded at the EFC Manager application that displays a
session (login and logout) history for the management server,
including the date and time, user name, and network address of each
session.
SFP transceiver See small form factor pluggable transceiver .
shared mode When an ES-1000 Switch is set to shared mode, the switch acts as a
hub that implements arbitrated loop topology. An attached device
communicates with another device using the full switch bandwidth.
During frame transmission between the device pair, no other switch
ports or attached devices can communicate. Contrast with
switched
mode .
simple mail transfer
protocol
The TCP/IP standard protocol for transferring electronic mail
messages from one machine to another. SMTP specifies how mail
systems interact and the format of control messages they exchange to
transfer mail.
simple network
management
protocol
A protocol defined for TCP/IP-based network management, widely
accepted as the standard for LAN network management. SNMP
consists of three parts: structure of management information (SMI), a
management information base (MIB), and the protocol itself. The SMI
and MIB define and store the set of managed entities; the protocol
conveys information to and from these entities.
singlemode optical
fiber
An optical fiber that allows one wavelength-dependent mode (light
path) to propagate. Contrast with
multimode optical fiber .
