Fibre Channel is standardized in the T11 Technical Committee of the International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS), an American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-accredited standards committee. Fibre Channel started in 1988, with ANSI standard approval in 1994, to merge the benefits of multiple physical layer implementations including SCSI, HIPPI and ESCON. Fibre Channel was designed as a serial interface to overcome limitations of the SCSI and HIPPI physic
Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed data transfer protocol providing in-order, lossless delivery of raw block data. Fibre Channel is primarily used to
In Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches, an FCoE-capable physical Ethernet interface can carry traffic for one virtual Fibre Channel (vFC) interface. Like any interface in Cisco NX-OS, vFC
In the computer storage field, a Fibre Channel switch is a network switch compatible with the Fibre Channel (FC) protocol. It allows the creation of a Fibre Channel

The 48-Port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel Switching Module provides higher port density, ideal for connecting high-performance and virtualized servers. This
When you configure the switch as an FCoE-FC gateway, you assign one or more (up to 12) native Fibre Channel (FC) interfaces and at least one FCoE VLAN interface to each FC fabric.
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Advanced Fibre Channel Switching Modules are hot-swappable and compatible with 1/2/4/8- and 10-Gbps interfaces, and they support hot-swappable Enhanced
In Fibre Channel, every port that logs into the fabric (by way of FLOGI) is assigned a network-unique 24 bit Fibre Channel identifier (FC_ID) by the fabric switch.

Virtual Fibre Channel Interfaces Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) encapsulation allows a physical Ethernet cable to simultaneously carry Fibre Channel and Ethernet traffic. In Cisco Nexus devices,
When a switch functions as an FCoE-FC gateway to connect FCoE devices on an Ethernet network to a Fibre Channel (FC) switch in a storage area network (SAN), it handles FCoE
Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches support up to sixteen physical Fibre Channel (FC) uplinks through the use of two, optional explansion modules.
When configured as a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-FC gateway, the QFX3500 switch supports the transport of native FC traffic between FC switches and the gateway''s native FC interfaces.
Fabric model Generic Services Fibre Channel is a bi-directional, point-to-point, serial data communication channel, architected for high performance Fibre Channel may be implemented
Fibre Channel may be implemented using any combination of the following three topologies: a point-to-point link between two ports a set of ports interconnected by a switching
