new technologies: Enhanced Ethernet and
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).
command line interface
See CLI.
device
A target, typically a disk drive. Hardware
such as a disk drive, tape drive, printer, or

Ethernet
The most widely used LAN technology that
transmits information between computer,
typically at speeds of 10 and 100 million

FC
See Fibre Channel.
FCoE
Fibre Channel over Ethernet. A new
technology defined by the T11 standards
body that allows traditional Fibre Channel
storage networking traffic to travel over an
Ethernet link by encapsulating Fibre
Channel frames inside Layer 2 Ethernet
frames. For more information, visit
