Description
Port Fibre Channel address.

auto-configuration, it will be used to determine which operational port
states are allowed.

auto-configuration based on the administrative port type.

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 the presence of an error
condition.
