FC-GS-2
Fibre Channel generic services, second generation.
FC-GS-3
Fibre Channel generic services, third generation.
FC_IP
Fibre Channel over IP.
FC-NAT
Fibre Channel network address translation.
FC-PH
The Fibre Channel physical and signaling standard for FC-0, FC-1, and FC-2 layers of the Fibre Channel
Protocol. Indicates signaling used for cable plants, media types, and transmission speeds.
FC-PH-2
Fibre Channel Physical Interface, second generation.
FC-PH-3
Fibre Channel Physical Interface, third generation.
FCIP Tunneling Service
The HP StorageWorks Multi-protocol 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.
FCP
Fibre Channel Protocol. Mapping of protocols onto the Fibre Channel standard protocols. For example,
SCSI FCP maps SCSI-3 onto Fibre Channel.
FCRP
Fibre Channel Router Protocol. A protocol that enables LSAN switches to perform routing between different
edge fabrics, optionally across a backbone fabric.
FCRS
Fibre Channel Routing Service. The HP StorageWorks Multi-protocol 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.
FCS
Fibre Channel switch.
FCS switch
Refers to the HP StorageWorks 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.
