FL_Port

Fabric loop port. A port that is able to transmit under fabric

 

protocol and has arbitrated loop capabilities. Can also be

 

used to connect an NL_Port to a switch. See also U_Port.

frame

The Fibre Channel structure used to transmit data between

 

ports. Consists of a start-of-frame delimiter, header, optional

 

headers, data payload, cyclic redundancy check, and

 

end-of-frame delimiter. There are two types of frames: link

 

control frames and data frames. See also packet.

FRU

Field-replaceable unit. A component that can be replaced on

 

site.

FS

Fibre Channel Service. A service that is defined by FC

 

standards and exists at a well-known address. The Simple

 

Name Server, for example, is an FC service.

FSP

Fibre Channel Service Protocol. The common protocol for all

 

fabric services; it is transparent to the fabric type or topology.

FSPF

Fabric shortest path first. HP routing protocol for FC switches.

Fx_Port

A fabric port that can operate as an F_Port or FL_Port.

G_Port

Generic port. A port that can operate as an E_Port or F_Port.

 

A port is defined as a G_Port when it is not yet connected or

 

has not yet assumed a specific function in the fabric. See also

 

E_port, F_port, U_Port.

hard address

The AL_PA that an NL_Port attempts to acquire during loop

 

initialization. See also defined zone configuration.

idle

Continuous transmission of an ordered set over an FC link

 

when no data is being transmitted, to keep the link active and

 

maintain bit, byte, and word synchronization.

integrated fabric

The fabric created by connecting multiple HP switches with

 

multiple ISL cables, and configuring the switches to handle

 

traffic as a seamless group.

ISL trunking

The distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of

 

multiple ISLs. A set of trunked ISLs is called a trunking group;

 

the ports in a trunking group are called trunking ports.

isolated E_Port

An E_Port that is online but not operational due to overlapping

 

domain IDs or nonidentical parameters (such as E_D_TOVs).

 

See also E_D_TOV.
