McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
Glossary
inband management Management of the director or switch through Fibre Channel. An
interface connection to a port card. Contrast with out-of-band manage-
ment.
initial machine load IML. Hardware reset for all installed control processor (CTP) cards on
the director or switch. This reset does not affect other hardware. It is
initiated by pushing the IML button on a director’s or switch’s oper-
ating panel.
initial program load IPL. The process of initializing the device and causing the operating
system to start. An IPL may be initiaded through a menu option or a
hardware button.
initial program load
configuration
IPL configuration. In S/390 mode, information stored in a director or
switch’s nonvolatile memory that contains default configurations.
The director or switch loads the file for operation when powered on.
Institute of Electrical
and Electronics
Engineers
IEEE. An organization of engineers and technical professionals that
promotes the development and application of electronic technology
and allied sciences.
integrated product Hardware product that is mounted in the Fabricenter cabinet. For
example, any director or switch shipped with in the Fabricenter cabi-
net is an integrated product.
interface (1) A shared boundary between two functional units, defined by
functional, signal, or other characteristics. The concept includes the
specification of the connection of two devices having different func-
tions (T). (2) Hardware, software, or both, that link systems, pro-
grams, or devices (D).
Internet protocol IP. Network layer for the transmission control protocol/Internet pro-
tocol (TCP/IP) protocol used on Ethernet networks. IP provides
packet routing, fragmentation, and reassembly through the data link
layer (D).
Internet protocol
address
IP address. Unique string of numbers (in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
that identifies a device on a network.
interoperability Ability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data between
various functional units over a network.
