Fabric OS 5.0.0 MIB reference guide 275
class of service
A specified set of delivery characteristics and attributes for frame delivery.
CLI
Command line interface. An interface that depends entirely on the use of commands, such as through telnet or
SNMP, and does not involve a GUI.
client
An entity that, using its common transport (CT), makes requests of a server.
community (SNMP)
A relationship between a group of SNMP managers and an SNMP agent, in which authentication, access control,
and proxy characteristics are defined. See also SNMP.
compact flash
Flash (temporary) memory that is used in a manner similar to hard disk storage. It is connected to a bridging
component that connects to the PCI bus of the processor. Not visible within the processor's memory space.
configuration
1. A set of parameters that can be modified to fine-tune the operation of a switch. Use the configshow command
to view the current configuration of your switch.
2. In HP Zoning, a zoning element that contains a set of zones. The Configuration is the highest-level zoning element
and is used to enable or disable a set of zones on the fabric. See also zone configuration.
congestion
The realization of the potential of oversubscription. A congested link is one on which multiple devices are contending
for bandwidth.
core PID
Core switch port identifier. The core PID must be set for v3.1 and earlier switches included in a fabric of v4.1
switches. This parameter is located in the configure command of firmware versions v3.1 and earlier. All v4.1
switches and above use the core PID format by default; this parameter is not present in the configure command for
these switches.
CSCN
Common services connection framework.
defined zone configuration
The set of all zone objects defined in the fabric. Can include multiple zone configurations. See also enabled zone
configuration, zone configuration.
deskew
Related to the HP Trunking feature. The time difference between traffic traveling over each ISL other than the shortest
ISL in the group and traffic traveling over that shortest ISL. The deskew number corresponds to nanoseconds divided
by 10. The firmware automatically sets the minimum deskew value of the shortest ISL to 15.
DH-CHAP
Diffie-Hellman Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol. An implementation of CHAP using Diffie-Hellman
encryption. See also CHAP.
