configuration. A configuration backup file is required to restore
configuration data if the CTP card in a nonredundant Intrepid 6064 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 to the dedicated bandwidth that
is required in a Class 1 Fibre Channel Service point-to-point link.
connector See optical fiber connector.
control processor
card
Circuit card that contains the director microprocessor. The CTP card
also initializes hardware components of the system after power-on. A
10 Mbps RJ-45 twisted pair connector is located on the CTP card to
connect to the Ethernet LAN and communicate with the EFC Server
or a specific management station.
control unit A hardware unit that controls the reading, writing, or displaying of
data at one or more input/output units.
CRC See cyclic redundancy check.
CTP See control processor card.
cyclic redundancy
check
System of error checking performed at both the sending and
receiving station using the value of a particular character generated
by a cyclic algorithm. When the values generated at each station are
identical, data integrity is confirmed.
D
datagram See Class 3 Fibre Channel service.
default Pertaining to an attribute, value, or option that is assumed when none
is explicitly specified.
default zone Contains all attached devices that are not members of a separate
zone.
device Product, connected to a managed director, connected to a switch or
director, that is not controlled by the switch or director’s management
software. See also node.
