Glossary fabric loop port FL_Port. A fabric port (F_Port) that contains arbitrated loop (AL) functions associated with the Fibre Channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL) topology. The access point of the fabric for physically connecting an arbitrated loop of node loop ports (NL_Ports). See also expansion port; fabric port; generic port; hub port; node loop port; node port; segmented expansion port. Fabric Manager application Fabric Manager is a High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) application used for controlling and managing fabrics. The Fabric Manager contains two views: the Topology view and the Zoning view. Menu options and displays in these views enable the user to manage and monitor the selected fabric, whether it is a single-switch or multiswitch fabric. fabric mode See interoperability mode. fabric port F_Port. Physical interface within the fabric that connects to a node port (N_Port) through a point-to-point full duplex connection. See also expansion port; fabric loop port; generic port; hub port; node loop port; node port; segmented expansion port. fabric services The services that implement the various Fibre Channel protocol services that are described in the standards. These services include the fabric controller (login server), name server, and management server. fabric switches A device which allows the communication between multiple devices using Fibre Channel protocols. A fabric switch enables the sharing bandwidth and end-nodes using basic multiplexing techniques. failover Automatic and nondisruptive transition of functions from an active field-replaceable unit (FRU) that has failed to a backup FRU. FC See Fibre Channel. FCA See Fibre Channel Association. FC-AL See Fibre Channel arbitrated loop. FC adapter Fibre Channel adapter. See host bus adapter. embedded web server user guide Glossary-13
