Only one configuration can be enabled at a time. See also Defined configuration, Zone configuration. Governs flow of Class 1 and 2 frames between N_Ports. See also Buffer-to-buffer flow control, EE_Credit. As applies to fibre channel, a missing or corrupted frame, time-out, loss of synchronization, or loss of signal. See also Loop failure. As applies to fibre channel, a communication session between N_Ports involving the transmission of one or more related sequences, in one or both directions. See also Sequence. Software product that allows interconnection of fibre channel fabric over distances of up to 100 km. Fabric Port. A port that can transmit using fabric protocol and can interface over links. Can be used to connect N_Ports to a switch. See also FL_Port, Fx_Port. A fibre channel network of two or more switches. Also called a "switched fabric." See also SAN, Cascade. Unique 64-bit identifier assigned to each separate fabric. Communicated during login and port discovery. Proprietary operating system on switches. Software product that allows monitoring and configuration of fabric and switch elements. The Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop standard. Defined on top of FC-PH standards. The Fibre Channel Fabric Loop Attach standard. Fibre Channel Protocol. Mapping of protocols onto fibre channel standard protocols. For example, SCSI FCP maps SCSI-3 onto fibre channel. The Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface standards. The Fibre Channel Physical Interface standard. 44 QuickLoop User's Guide
