	Parameter	Description

	SymbolicPortName	Descriptive name for the port. The name can be up to
		32 characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and comma
		(,). The default is Port n where n is the port number.
	ALFairness	Arbitration loop fairness. Enables (True) or disables
		(False) the switch’s priority to arbitrate on the loop.
		The default is False.
	DeviceScanEnabled	Enables (True) or disables (False) the scanning of the
		connected device for FC-4 descriptor information
		during login. The default is True.
	ForceOfflineRSCN	Enables (False) or disables (True) the immediate
		transmission of RSCN messages when
		communication between a port and a device is
		interrupted. If enabled, the RSCN message is delayed
		for 200 ms for locally attached devices and 400 ms for
		devices connected through other switches. The
		default is False. This parameter is ignored if
		IOStreamGuard is enabled.
	ARB_FF	Send ARB_FF (True) instead of IDLEs (False) on the
		loop. The default is False.
	InteropCredit	Interoperability credit. The number of buffer-to-buffer
		credits per port. 0 means the default (12) is
		unchanged. Changing interoperability credits is
		necessary only for E_Ports that are connected to
		non-FC-SW-2-compliant switches. Contact your
		authorized maintenance provider for assistance in
		using this feature.
	ExtCredit	Extended credits. The number of port buffer credits
		that this port can acquire from donor ports. The
		default is 0.
	FANEnable	Fabric address notification. Enables (True) or disables
		(False) the communication of the FL_Port address,
		port name, and node name to the logged-in NL_Port.
		The default is True.
