Summary

 

 

 

Port Address

Port Fibre Channel address.

 

 

Administrative Port Type

The administrative port type (G, GL, F, FL). This value is

 

persistent; it will be maintained during a switch reset.

 

During 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, Diagnostics, or Down) that

 

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 configuration. 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.

 

 

Operational Port State

The port state that is currently active. This value may be

 

different from the administrative port state, for example due

 

to an error condition.

 

 

Configured Administrative Port State

The port state (Online, Offline, Diagnostics, or Down) that

 

is saved in the switch configuration, either by the user or at

 

the factory. This value is persistent; it will be maintained

 

during a switch reset, and will be used after a reset to set

 

the port operational state.

 

 

Logged In

Indicates whether logged in or not.

 

 

Port Connection Status

Operational Port Speed

The speed actually being used by the port.

 

 

Port Speed Supported

The speeds supported by the port (1-Gbps, 2-Gbps,

 

4-Gbps)

 

 

Symbolic Name

Port symbolic name

 

 

Diagnostic Status

Status from the most recent Power-on self test

 

 

Diagnostic Fault Code

Fault code from the most recent Power-on self test

 

 

Test Status

Status from the most recent port test

 

 

Test Fault Code
