Description
Port Fibre Channel address.
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.
The port type that is currently active. This will be set during
port auto-configuration based on the administrative port
type.
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.
The port state that is currently active. This value may be
different from the administrative port state, for example due
to an error condition.
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.
Indicates whether logged in or not.

Connected or Isolated.
E_Port isolation reason
The speed requested by the user.
The speed actually being used by the port.
