Glossary
Fibre Channel
Industry Association
FCIA. A corporation consisting of over 100 computer indus-
try-related companies. Its goal is to provide marketing support,
exhibits, and tradeshows for its member companies. The FCIA com-
plements activities of the various standards committees.
Fibre Channel I/O
controller
FCC-IOC. In a director, the integrated controller on the control pro-
cessor (CTP) card dedicated to the task of managing the embedded
Fibre Channel port. In a director or switch, the FCC-IOC controls the
embedded Fibre Channel port and configures the ports’ applica-
tion-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
Fibre Channel IP
address
FC IP. The default FC IP on a new switch is a temporary number
divided by the switch’s world-wide name (WWN). The system
administrator needs to enter a valid IP address.
Fibre Channel
management
framework integration
FCMGMT. A standard defined by the Fibre Alliance to provide easy
management for Fibre Channel-based devices such as switches, hubs,
and host-bus adapters.
Fibre Channel
physical and signaling
interface
FC-PH. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) document
that specifies the FC-0 (physical signaling), FC-1 (data encoding), and
FC-2 (frame construct) layers of the Fibre Channel protocol (D).
Fibre Channel
standard
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard that provides
a common, efficient data transport system that supports multiple pro-
tocols. The architecture integrates both channel and network technol-
ogies, and provides active, intelligent interconnection among devices.
All data transmission is isolated from the control protocol, allowing
use of point-to-point, arbitrated loop, or switched fabric topologies to
meet the needs of an application.
Fibre Connection
FICON. An IBM set of products and services introduced in 1999 that
is based on the Fibre Channel Standard. FICON technology uses
fiber-optic cables as the data transmission medium, and significantly
improves I/O performance (including one Gbps bi-directional data
transfer). FICON is designed to coexist with ESCON™ channels, and
FICON-to-ESCON control unit connections are supported.
fibre port module
FPM. A 1 gigabit-per-second module that contains four generic ports
(G_Ports).
