A 10-bit character that does not have a corresponding 8-bit value but
is still considered valid. The special character is used to indicate that a

file resources.
Secure shell. Used starting in Fabric OS v4.1 to support encrypted
telnet sessions to the switch. SSH encrypts all messages, including the
client sending the password at login.
Allows public devices to communicate with private devices that are
directly connected to the fabric.
A method used in some switches to simulate EMC Connectrix B
switches using QuickLoop.
A switching technique that requires buffering an entire frame before
making a routing decision.
A RAID technique for writing a file to multiple disks on a
block-by-block basis, with or without parity.
