Full Fabric
The licensing that allows multiple E_Ports on a switch, making it possible to create
multiple ISL links.
Full-duplex
A mode of communication that allows the same port to simultaneously transmit and receive
frames. See also
Half-duplex
.
Fx_Port
A fabric port that can operate as either an F_Port or FL_Port. See also

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.
Gateway
A device such as a switch that connects different subnets together. A switch can be used as
a gateway from the Ethernet to the Fibre Channel. Set the gateway address on one switch to
the Fibre Channel IP address of another switch to enable the other switch to forward IP
traffic to the ethernet port on the second switch.
GBIC
Gigabit Interface Converter; a removable serial transceiver module that allows gigabaud
physical-level transport for Fibre Channel and gigabit ethernet. Also known as Optical
Transceiver.
Gbps
Gigabits per second (1,062,500,000 bits/second).
GBps
GigaBytes per second (1,062,500,000 bytes/second).
