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.
