F_Port
The
fabric
port in a Fibre Channel fabric
switch provides a point-to-point link attach-
ment to a single
. F_Ports are inter-
mediate ports in virtual point-to-point links
between end ports, for example N_Port to
F_Port to F_Port to N_Port using a single
Fibre Channel fabric switch.
fabric
A fabric consists of cross-connected Fibre
Channel devices and switches.

fabric switch
Also, switched fabric. A fabric switch
connects multiple devices from indepen-
dent Fibre Channel-arbitrated loops
(FC-ALs) and point-to-point topologies into
a fabric using Fibre Channel switches.
failover path
Software feature that ensures data avail-
ability and system reliability by assigning
alternate path and automatic
failover for device resources. This feature
is available only in Windows
2000/Windows Server 2003/Windows
Vista, Novell NetWare, and Red Hat/SUSE
Linux. (Windows XP and Windows Server
2008 do
not
support failover.)
FC

FC-IP mode
Data transportation mode in which the
iSR6200 transports Fibre Channel frames
over a TCP/IP connection using the
protocol to connect two iSR6200 routers.
In FC-IP mode, a port pair (one Fibre
Channel port and an IP port on the same
router) on local iSR6200 and another port
pair on a remote router form an FCIP
route.
FCIP
Fibre Channel over IP. Protocol that
enables transmission of Fibre Channel
information by tunneling data on a
over IP networks. An alternative to
.
Also known as Fibre Channel tunneling.
