FCIA FCIP Tunneling Service FCLC FCP FCRP FCRS FCS FCS switch FC-SW-2 FDDI FDMI FFFFF5 FFFFF6 FFFFF7 FFFFF8 FFFFF9 FFFFFA FFFFFB FFFFFC FFFFFD FFFFFE FFFFFF Fibre Channel Industry Association. An international organization of Fibre Channel industry professionals. Provides oversight of ANSI and industry-developed standards, among other tasks. The HP Multiprotocol SAN Routing 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. Fibre Channel Loop Community. Fibre Channel Protocol. Mapping of protocols onto the Fibre Channel standard protocols. For example, SCSI FCP maps SCSI-3 onto Fibre Channel. Fibre Channel Router Protocol. A protocol that enables LSAN switches to perform routing between different edge fabrics, optionally across a backbone fabric. Fibre Channel Routing Service. The HP Multiprotocol SAN Routing Service that extends hierarchical networking capabilities to Fibre Channel fabrics. Sometimes called "FC-to-FC routing," FCRS enables devices located on separate fabrics to communicate without merging the fabrics. It also enables the creation of LSANs. Fibre Channel switch. Relates to the HP Secure Fabric OS feature. One or more designated switches that store and manage security parameters and configuration data for all switches in the fabric. They also act as a set of backup switches to the primary FCS switch. See also backbone fabric, primary FCS switch. The second-generation Fibre Channel Switch Fabric standard defined by ANSI. Specifies tools and algorithms for the interconnection and initialization of Fibre Channel switches to create a multiswitch Fibre Channel fabric. Fibre Distributed Data Interface. An ANSI architecture for a metropolitan area network (MAN); a network based on the use of fiber-optic cable to transmit data at 100 Mb/sec. Fabric-Device Management Interface. FDMI is 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.
