Description
Summary Group
Port Address
Port Fibre Channel address.
Administrative Port Type
The administrative port type (G, GL, F, FL,
or Donor). This value is persistent; it will
be maintained during a switch reset. Dur-
ing port auto-configuration, it will be used
to determine which operational port states
are allowed.
Operational Port Type
The port type that is currently active. This
will be set during port auto-configuration
based on the administrative port type.
Administrative Port State
The port state (Online, Offline, Diagnos-
tics, or Down) which has been set by the
user. This state may be different from the
configured administrative state if the user
has not saved it in the switch configura-
tion. This state is used at the time it is set
to try to set the port operational state. This
value is not persistent and will be lost on a
switch reset.
