Specifying the type operand causes the switch to send out a query to every switch in the
fabric. On a large fabric it is recommended NOT to run a script that repeatedly issues the
nsAllShow command with a type operand specified.
Specify the FC-PH type code. This operand is optional. The valid values for this
operand are 0 to 255. Below are two specific FC-PH device type codes:
8 = FCP type device
4 , 5 = FC-IP type device
Other FC-PH types are displayed in the format "x ports supporting FC4 code"
where x is the number of ports of a type, and code is the FC-PH type code.
