Home / When to use the FC interface

FC used throughout all applications for Fibre Channel infrastructure and devices, including edge and ISL interconnects. Each speed maintains backward compatibility at least two previous generations (I. When the technology was originally devised, it ran over optical fiber cables only and, as such, was called "Fiber Channel".

Basic concepts

For a switch, this field is the FCoE MAC address of the switch (which can be displayed by using the display fcoe command). For a node, this field is the fabric provided MAC address (FPMA) of the node.
