E_Port
Expansion port. A type of switch port that can be connected to an E_Port on another switch to create an
ISL. See also ISL.
ELS
Extended link service. ELSs are sent to the destination N_Port to perform the requested function or service.
ELS is a Fibre Channel standard that is sometimes called a Fibre Channel Physical (FC_PH) ELS.
embedded port
An embedded port (or domain controller) communicates and gets updates from the embedded ports of
other switches. The well-known address is fffcdd, where dd = domain number.
EOF
End of frame. A group of ordered sets used to mark the end of a frame.
error
In the Fibre Channel industry, a missing or corrupted frame, timeout, loss of synchronization, or loss of
signal (link errors).
F_Port
Fabric port. A port that is able to transmit under fabric protocol and interface over links. Can be used to
connect an N_Port to a switch. See also FL_Port, Fx_Port.
fabric
A Fibre Channel network containing two or more switches in addition to hosts and devices. Also called a
switched fabric. See also cascade, SAN, topology.
Fabric Manager
Optional, licensed HP software. Fabric Manager is a GUI that allows for fabric-wide administration and
management. Switches can be treated as groups and actions such as firmware downloads can be
performed simultaneously.
Fabric Mode
One of two possible modes for an L_Port, in which the L_Port is connected to another port that is not loop
capable, using fabric protocol.
fabric name
The unique identifier assigned to a fabric and communicated during login and port discovery.
fabric port count
The number of ports available for connection by nodes in a fabric.
fabric services
Codes that describe the communication to and from any well-known address.
fabric topology
The arrangement of switches that form a fabric.
Fabric Watch
Optional, licensed HP software. Fabric Watch can be accessed through either the command line or
Advanced Web Tools, and it provides the ability to set thresholds for monitoring fabric conditions.
failover
Describes the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 process of one CP passing active status to another CP.
A failover is nondisruptive.
