FAN Fabric address notification. Retains the AL_PA and fabric address when a loop reinitializes, if
the switch supports FAN.
fan-in The ratio of hosts to storage devices; the view of the SAN from the storage port's perspective.
fan-out The ratio of storage devices to hosts; the view of the SAN from the host port's perspective.
FC-0 Lowest layer of Fibre Channel transport. Represents physical media.
FC-1 Layer of Fibre Channel transport that contains the 8b/10b encoding scheme.
FC-2 Layer of Fibre Channel transport that handles framing and protocol, frame format,
sequence/exchange management, and ordered set usage.
FC-3 Layer of Fibre Channel transport that contains common services used by multiple N_Ports in a
node.
FC-4 Layer of Fibre Channel transport that handles standards and profiles for mapping upper-level
protocols such as SCSI and IP onto the Fibre Channel Protocol.
FC-AL-3 The Fibre Channel arbitrated-loop standard defined by ANSI. Defined on top of the FC-PH
standards.
FC-AV Fibre Channel audio visual.
FC-CT Fibre Channel common transport.
FC-FG Fibre Channel generic requirements.
FC-FLA The Fibre Channel fabric loop-attach standard defined by ANSI.
FC-FS Fibre Channel framing and signaling.
FC-GS Fibre Channel generic services.
FC-GS-2 Fibre Channel generic services, second generation.
FC-GS-3 Fibre Channel Generic Services, third generation.
FCIP 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.
FC-PI Fibre Channel Physical Interface standard, defined by ANSI.
The Fibre Channel Private Loop Direct Attach standard defined by ANSI. Applies to the
FC-PLDA
operation of peripheral devices on a private loop.
FC_SB Fibre Channel single bytes.
FC_VI Fibre Channel virtual interface.
FCA Flow-control acknowledgement (DLSW).
