Fibre Channel
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

Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces
A physical Fibre Channel interface can be configured as an E port or an F port, an F port, or an SD port. Interfaces may also be configured in Auto mode; the port type is determined during interface
