switch port
A port on a switch. Switch ports can be E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports.
syslogd
Syslog daemon. Used to forward error messages.
target
A storage device on a Fibre Channel network. See also initiator.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol Internet Protocol. A communications protocol developed under contract from
the U.S. Department of Defense to internetwork dissimilar systems.
telnet
A virtual terminal emulation used with TCP/IP. Telnet is sometimes used as a synonym for the HP Fabric OS

throughput
The rate of data flow achieved within a cable, link, or system. Usually measured in bps (bits per second or
b/sec). See also BB fabric.
Time Server
A Fibre Channel service that allows for the management of all timers.
topology
In Fibre Channel technology, the configuration of the Fibre Channel network and the resulting
communication paths allowed. There are three possible topologies:
• Point to point: A direct link between two communication ports.
• Switched fabric: Multiple N_Ports linked to a switch by F_Ports.
• Arbitrated loop: Multiple NL_Ports connected in a loop.
translate domain
See xlate domain. A mode in which private devices can communicate with public devices across the
fabric.
trunking
In Fibre Channel technology, a feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of
up to four ISLs between adjacent switches, while preserving in-order delivery.
trunking group
A set of up to four trunked ISLs.
trunking ports
The ports in a set of trunked ISLs.
TS
See Time Server
tunneling
A technique for enabling two networks to communicate when the source and destination hosts are both on
the same type of network, but are connected by a different type of network.
