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.
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.
connectivity attribute
In S/390 mode, the characteristic that determines port address status for the Director or
Switch. See also blocked connection; connectivity capability; connectivity control; dynamic
connection; dynamic connectivity; unblocked connection.
connectivity capability
(1) The capability that allows attachment of a device to a system without requiring physical
reconfiguration of either the device or the interconnections. (2) The Director or Switch
capability that allows logical manipulation of link connections to provide physical device
attachment (D). See also active port address matrix; connectivity attribute; connectivity
control.
connectivity control
In S/390 mode, in a Director or Switch, the method used to change port address connectivity
attributes and determine the communication capability of the link attached to the port (D). See
also active port address matrix; connectivity attribute; connectivity capability.
control processor card
CTP card. Circuit card that contains the Director or Switch microprocessor. The CTP card also
initializes hardware components of the system after power-on. The card may contain an RJ-45
twisted pair connector.
