FC-PH Fibre Channel Physical and signaling standard for FC-0, FC-1, and FC-2 layers of the Fibre Channel protocol. Also indicates signaling used for cable plants, media types, and transmission speeds. FC-PH-2 Second-generation Fibre Channel Physical interface. FC-PH-3 Third-generation Fibre Channel Physical interface. F_RJT Fabric Port Reject Frame. A frame issued by the fabric to indicate that delivery of a frame is being denied, maybe because class is not supported, or there is an invalid header, or no N_Port is available. FC_SB Fibre Channel Single Bytes. FC-SW Fibre Channel Switch Fabric. Specifies tools and algorithms for interconnection and initialization of Fibre Channel switches to create a multiswitch Fibre Channel fabric. FC-SW-2 Second-generation Fibre Channel Switch Fabric. Specifies tools and algorithms for interconnection and initialization of Fibre Channel switches to create a multiswitch Fibre Channel fabric. FC_VI Fibre Channel Virtual Interface. FCC Federal Communications Commission. FCIA Fibre Channel Industry Association. Its mission is to nurture and help develop the broadest market for Fibre Channel products. FCIP Tunneling Service A service that enables SANs to span longer distances than could be supported with native Fibre Channel links. FCIP is a TCP/IP-based tunneling protocol that allows the transparent interconnection of geographically distributed SAN islands through an IP-based network. FCLC Fibre Channel Loop Community. FCP Fibre Channel Protocol. SCSI to Fibre Channel mapping. FDDI Fibre Distributed Data Interface. ANSI architecture for a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN); a network based on the use of optical-fiber cable to transmit data at 100 megabits per second. FDMI Fabric Device Management Interface. A database service provided by the fabric for Nx_Ports. The primary use is by HBA devices that register information about themselves and their ports. FFFFF5 Well-known Fibre Channel address for a Class 6 multicast server. FFFFF6 Well-known Fibre Channel address for a clock synchronization server. FFFFF7 Well-known Fibre Channel address for a security key distribution server. FFFFF8 Well-known Fibre Channel address for an alias server. FFFFF9 Well-known Fibre Channel address for a QoS facilitator. FFFFFA Well-known Fibre Channel address for a management server. FFFFFB Well-known Fibre Channel address for a time server. FFFFFC Well-known Fibre Channel address for a directory server. Brocade SAN Glossary 1/29/2008 Page 10 of 29
