SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide
FSP
Fibre channel service protocol. The common protocol for all fabric services,
transparent to the fabric type or topology.
FSPF
Fabric shortest path first. HP’s routing protocol for fibre channel switches.
Fx_Port
A fabric port that can operate as either an F_Port or FL_Port.
G
G_Port
Generic port. A port that can operate as either 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.
H
hard address
The AL_PA that an NL_Port attempts to acquire during loop initialization.
I
idle
Continuous transmission of an ordered set over a fibre channel 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”, and 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).
