fill word

An IDLE or ARB ordered set that is transmitted during breaks between data frames to

keep the fibre channel link active.

FL_Port

Fabric loop port. A port that is able to transmit under fabric protocol and also has

arbitrated loop capabilities. Can be used to connect an NL_Port to a switch.

FRU

Field-Replaceable Unit. A component that can be replaced on site.

Fibre Channel Service. A service that is defined by fibre channel standards and exists at

a well-known address. For example, the Simple Name Server is a fibre channel service.

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_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.

hard address

The AL_PA that an NL_Port attempts to acquire during loop initialization.

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).
