FC-FLAThe Fibre Channel Fabric Loop Attach standard defined by ANSI.

FCP Fibre Channel Protocol; mapping of protocols onto the Fibre Channel standard protocols. For example, SCSI FCP maps SCSI-3 onto Fibre Channel.

FC-PH-1, 2, 3 The Fibre Channel Physical and Signalling Interface standards defined by ANSI.

FC-PIThe Fibre Channel Physical Interface standard defined by ANSI.

FC-PLDAThe Fibre Channel Private Loop Direct Attach standard defined by ANSI. Applies to the operation of peripheral devices on a private loop.

FC-SW-2The second generation of the Fibre Channel Switch Fabric standard defined by ANSI. Specifies tools and algorithms for the interconnection and initialization of Fibre Channel switches in order to create a multi switch Fibre Channel fabric.

Fibre Channel A protocol service that supports communication between Fibre

Transport Channel service providers. See also FSP.

Fill Word An IDLE or ARB ordered set that is transmitted during breaks between data frames to keep the Fibre Channel link active.

Firmware The basic operating system provided with the hardware.

FL_Port Fabric Loop Port; a port that is able to transmit under fabric protocol and also has arbitrated loop capabilities. Can be used to connect an NL_Port to a switch. See also F_Port and Fx_Port.

FLOGI Fabric Login; the process by which an N_Port determines whether a fabric is present, and if so, exchanges service parameters with it. See also PLOGI.

Frame The Fibre Channel structure used to transmit data between ports. Consists of a start of frame delimiter, header, any optional headers, the data payload, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), and an end of frame delimiter. There are two types of frames: Link control frames (transmission acknowledgements, etc.) and data frames.

FRU Field replaceable Unit; a component that can be replaced on site.
