Glossary

E_Port

Expansion Port; a type of switch port that can be connected to an E_Port on another switch to create an ISL. See also ISL.

EE_Credit

End-to-end Credit; the number of receive buffers allocated by a recipient port to an originating port. Used by Class 1 and 2 services to manage the exchange of frames across the fabric between source and destination. See also End-to-end Flow Control, BB_Credit.

EIA Rack

A storage rack that meets the standards set by the Electronics Industry Association.

Enabled Zone Configuration

The currently enabled configuration of zones. Only one configuration can be enabled at a time.

End-to-end Flow Control

Governs flow of class 1 and 2 frames between N_Ports. See also EE_Credit.

Error

As applies to Fibre Channel, a missing or corrupted frame, time-out, loss of synchronization, or loss of signal (link errors).

Exchange

The highest level Fibre Channel mechanism used for communication between N_Ports. Composed of one or more related sequences, and can work in either one or both directions.

F_Port

Fabric Port; a port that is able to transmit under fabric protocol and interface over links. Can be used to connect an N_Port to a switch.

Fabric Name

The unique identifier assigned to a fabric and communicated during login and port discovery.

Fabric

A Fibre Channel network containing two or more switches in addition to hosts and devices. May also be referred to as a switched fabric. See also Topology, SAN, Cascade.

FC-AL-3

The Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop standard defined by ANSI. Defined on top of the FC-PH standards.

FC-FLA
