Entry

Description

 

 

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. 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) 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.

E Port Connection Status

E_Port connection status. Status can be None,

 

Connecting, Connected or Isolated.
