Node ID

A connection point between each node that provides access to other devices.

Port

An interconnection scheme that connects two or more Fibre Channel N_ports.

Link

Unique identifier.

Topology

A Fibre Channel device.


A2:

Answer:

Node: A Fibre Channel device.

Node ID: Unique identifier.

Port: A connection point between each node that provides access to other devices.

Link: A pair of optical fibers. One of the fibers carries information into the receiver port; the other fiber carries information out of the transmitter port.
