Glossary
community name (SNMP)
A name that represents an simple network management protocol (SNMP) community that the
agent software recognizes as a valid source for SNMP requests. A product recognizes a
management station as a valid recipient for trap information when the station’s community
names are configured.
community profile
Information that specifies which management objects are available to what management
domain or simple network management protocol (SNMP) community name.
community (SNMP)
A relationship between an simple network management protocol (SNMP) agent and a set of
SNMP managers that defines authentication, access control, and proxy characteristics.
component
(1) Hardware or software that is part of a functional unit. (2) A functional part of an operating
system; for example, the scheduler or supervisor (D).
concurrent firmware upgrade
Firmware is upgraded without disrupting switch operation.
concurrent maintenance
Ability to perform maintenance tasks, such as removal or replacement of field-replaceable
units (FRUs), while a hardware product is operating.
configuration data
The collection of data that results from configuring product and system operating parameters.
For example, configuring operating parameters, simple network management protocol
(SNMP) agent, zoning configurations, and port configurations through the Product Manager
application, results in a collection of configuration data. Configuration data includes:
identification data, port configuration data, operating parameters, simple network management
protocol (SNMP) configuration, and zoning configuration. A configuration backup file is
required to restore configuration data if the control processor (CTP) card in a nonredundant
director 2/64 is removed and replaced.
connectionless
Nondedicated link. Typically used to describe a link between nodes which allows the switch to
forward Class 2 or Class 3 frames as resources (ports) allow. Contrast this with the dedicated
bandwidth that is required in a Class 1 Fibre Channel Service (FC-1) point-to-point link.
connectivity
The ability of devices to link together.
