HP P4459A 8-Port Fibre Loop Switch Installation & Opeartion Guide

FC-0

The set of Fibre Channel standards that address media (optics, copper, connectors), and physical signalling over that media (signal rates and timing, signal quality, power, jitter, etc.).

FC-1

The set of Fibre Channel standards that address 8B/10B encoding/decoding and transmission protocol.

FC-2

The set of Fibre Channel standards that address link protocols: framing, flow control, link services, and error recovery.

FC-3

The set of Fibre Channel standards that define additional services which are available to all FC-4 protocols, yet are not part of the link layer.

FC-4

The set of Fibre Channel standards that define the mapping of higher level protocols (primarily IP and SCSI initially) to Fibre Channel link protocols and services.

FC-AL Device

A device that employs Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop and consists of one or more NL_Ports.

FC-PH

Fibre Channel Physical standard consisting of three lower levels, FC-0 physical, FC-1 encoding, and FC-2 framing and signalling.

FC-SW

Fibre Channel Switch standard that specifies tools and algorithms for interconnection and initialization of Fibre Channel Switches to create a multi- switch Fibre Channel fabric.

Fiber

Refers to the strands of glass through which data in the form of light pulses are transmitted in fiber optic cable. It is used for high-speed transmission over medium to long distances.

Fibre

An FC-AL term used to cover all transmission media types specified in the Fibre Channel Physical Layer standard (FC-PH), such as optical fiber, copper twisted pair, and copper coaxial cable. Fibre is not exclusively optical fiber.
