		Entry	Description
	Administrative Port State		The port state (Online, Offline,
			Diagnostics, 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
			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) which 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.
	E Port Connection Status		E_Port connection status. Status can be
			None, Connecting, Connected or Isolated.
	E Port Isolation Reason		Why E_Port is isolated.

	I/O Stream Guard		RSCN message suppression status.
			Status can be enabled, disabled, or
			automatically determined by the switch.
	Administrative Port Speed		The speed requested by the user.
	Operational Port Speed		The speed actually being used by the port.
	Max Credits		The maximum number of credits granted
			to a port that can be used when extending
			port credits.
	Device Scan		Device scan status. Enabled means the
			switch queries the connected device
			during login for FC-4 descriptor
			information.
