Understanding FCoE-FC Gateway Functions
Login and Logout Each of the native FC interfaces on the gateway performs a fabric login (FLOGI) to the FC switch when each interface initializes. This establishes the link between each gateway FC

3 Physical Interfaces This chapter describes options you can use to configure Fibre Channel (FC) and Gigabit Ethernet ports on an MDS multi-protocol switch. It includes the following sections:
Assigning Interfaces to a Fibre Channel Fabric | Junos OS | Juniper
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. FC interfaces
Understanding an FCoE-FC Gateway | Junos OS
The FCoE-FC gateway handles FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) and FCoE traffic on the interfaces connected to FCoE devices. The gateway forwards native FC traffic
Cisco MDS 9000 Series Interfaces Configuration Guide, Release 9.x
The fc-abort sequence counter helps you monitor the health and performance of your Fiber Channel network on Cisco MDS switches. It does this by counting FC abort sequence (ABTS)
Cisco MDS 9000 Series Interfaces Configuration Guide, Release 8.x
Out-of-Service Interfaces On supported modules and fabric switches, you might need to allocate all the shared resources for one or more interfaces to another interface in the port group or
Configuring FC interfaces
An FC interface connects to a node (server or disk) or FC switch for transmitting and receiving FC frames. To connect to an FC interface of a peer device, you must use an FC interface.
Example: Configuring FCoE by using FC interfaces and VFC interfaces
As a best practice to prevent physical loops in a complex LAN, enable STP on the interface that connects the FCF switch to the LAN. To prevent loops on the interface that connects the FCF switch
Cisco MDS 9000 Series Interfaces Configuration Guide, Release 9.x
This option is supported only on Fibre Channel (FC) interfaces configured in F-mode. It can be configured regardless of interface speed but will only be applied during link negotiation at 32

The committee standardizing FC is the International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS). When configured as a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-FC gateway, the QFX3500
Understanding Interfaces on an FCoE-FC Gateway | Junos OS
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 traffic from hosts and
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. The first module contains eight FC interfaces.
Understanding Fibre Channel Terminology
To understand the Fibre Channel (FC) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capabilities of the QFX Series, you should become familiar with the terms defined in Table 1.

To transmit Fibre Channel (FC) traffic between FCoE devices and a storage area network (SAN) FC switch, you configure a local FC fabric on the gateway. The gateway FC fabric includes FCoE and
Overview of Fibre Channel | Junos OS | Juniper Networks
FC components include initiators, targets, and FC-capable switches that interconnect FC devices and may also interconnect FC devices with Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) devices.
Understanding Fibre Channel | Junos OS | Juniper Networks
An FC switch is a Layer 3 network switch that is compatible with the FC protocol, forwards FC traffic, and provides FC services to the components of the FC fabric.

FC NPV mode applies to the entire switch. Server Interfaces In Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches, server interfaces can be FC or vFC interfaces. Server interfaces are F ports on the edge
Fibre Channel switch
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 fabric, that is the core component of a storage area network (SAN). The fabric is a network of Fibre Channel devices which allows many-to-many communication, device name lookup, security, and redundancy. FC switches implement zoning, a mechanism that disable
