eSwitch
The eSwitch (embedded switch) function-
ality provides a basic Layer-2 switch for
Ethernet frames. Each physical port has
one instance of an eSwitch, which
supports all NIC partitions on that physical
port.

FC
See Fibre Channel .
FCoE
Fibre Channel over Ethernet. A new
technology defined by the T11 standards
body that allows traditional Fibre Channel
storage networking traffic to travel over an
Ethernet link by encapsulating Fibre
Channel frames inside Layer 2 Ethernet
frames. For more information, visit
www.fcoe.com .
Fibre Channel
A high-speed serial interface technology
that supports other higher layer protocols
such as
SCSI and IP .
Fibre Channel over Ethernet

Internet Protocol

Internet small computer system interface
See iSCSI .
IP
Internet Protocol. A method by which data
are sent from one computer to another
over the Internet. IP specifies the format of
packets, also called
datagrams , and the
addressing scheme.
iSCSI
Internet small computer system interface.
Protocol that encapsulates data into IP
packets to send over Ethernet connec-
tions.
management workstation
PC workstation used to manage routers
remotely by connecting to the routers
using the QConvergeConsole CLI or CLI
commands.
NIC
Network interface card. Computer card
installed to enable a dedicated network
connection.
NIC partitioning
The NIC partitioning feature in QLogic
adapters allows you to partition a single
10GbE NIC port into up to four individual
partitions with user-configurable bandwidth
and interface type (personality). The parti-
tioning options are not limited to NIC as
the name NPAR indicates; it extends to
converged fabric partitioning by enabling
you to assign iSCSI or FCoE protocols to
certain partitions.
NPAR
See NIC partitioning .
path
A path to a device is a combination of a
adapter
port instance and a target port as
distinct from internal paths in the fabric
network. A fabric network appears to the
operating system as an opaque network
between the adapter (initiator) and the
target.
