290 T10000: Interface Reference Manual August 2016
FCP_CMND
Fibre channel SCSI-3 command service request.
FCP_DATA
The action of delivering data.
FCP_RSP
SCSI-3 response such as Status.
FCP_XFER_RDY
The request for date.
FDACT
Fabric deactivate alias_ID
FDDI
See Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).
FDISC
See Discover F_Port Parameters (FDISC).
Fiber
A wire or strand of optical cable. Fiber is spelled “Fibre” in Fibre Channel.
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
An NCITS standard for transmitting data at 100 mega-baud over fiber optic cable.
Fiber Optic Cable
A jacketed cable of thin strands of glass which carry pulses of light that transmit data
for high-speed transmissions over medium to long distances. The cable can be single
mode, which carries a single signal from a laser or LED light source, or multi-mode,
which carries multiple signals from either light source.
Fibre Channel
The ANSI standard that defines an ultra high-speed, content independent, multi-level
data transmission interface that can support multiple protocols simultaneously,
support connectivity to millions of devices over copper and/or fiber optic physical
media, and provides the best characteristics of both networks and channels, over
diverse topologies.
Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH-1)
See FC-PH-1.
Fibre Channel Protocol
The mapping of SCSI-3 commands over a fibre channel interface.
FIFO
First in first out.
Fill Word
A word transmitted between frames containing no information essential to either
frame. The fill words are defined by the topology. The Idle primitive signal is an
example of a fill word.
FIXED
Indicates the block mode for data transfer.
FL_Port
An F_Port within the Fabric which also contains the Loop Port State Machine as
defined in FC-AL-2. The FL_Port attaches to an NL_Port through a link.
