Term
Definition
ACL
Access Control List--refers to a target node.
broadcast domain
PCs and servers send (broadcast) information out through an Ethernet domain.
Switches and routers may connect domains, but may not share information across
domains.
Switches and routers may connect domains, but may not share information across
domains.
CHAP
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol: If
CHAP is enabled, the target
requires the initiator to negotiate CHAP authentication using the CHAP secrets
(passwords). An initiator may reject this negotiation.

DHCP
As defined in RFC 2131, a protocol which assigns IP addresses to devices on a
local area network. The iPBridge is set up by default to request an IP address from
the DHCP server.

firmware
Software stored in read-only memory (ROM) or programmable ROM (PROM);
firmware is often responsible for the behavior of a system when it is first switched
on

initiator device
A component which originates a command
iSCSI
Internet SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), a protocol to link data storage
facilities over the Internet or an intranet developed by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF); carries SCSI commands over IP networks to facilitate data transfers
over intranets and manage storage over long distances

LUN
Logical Unit Number: an identifier of a device
NAS
Network Attached Storage: storage elements connected to a network to provide file
access services to computer systems; an NAS Storage Element includes an
engine to implement the file services and one or more devices to store data; NAS
elements may be attached to any type of network; an NAS host system uses a file
system device driver to access data and NAS systems interpret these commands
to execute the necessary internal file and device I/O operations

Small Computer Systems Interface: a processor-independent standard for system-
level interface between a computer and intelligent devices including hard disks,
tape, floppy disks, CD-ROM, printers, scanners, etc.

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol: a standard for monitoring and managing
systems and devices in a network; data is defined by a MIB; functions supported
include the request and retrieval of data
