Variable Provides: ModuleIndex Module index. FxPortIndex Port index. AdminStatus Desired state of the F_Port. The testing (3) state indicates no operational frames can be passed. When a fabric element initializes, all F_Ports start with fcFPortPhysAdminStatus in the offline (2) state. As the result of either explicit management action or per-configuration information accessible by the fabric element, fcFPortPhysAdminStatus is then changed to either the online (1) or testing (3) states or remains in the offline (2) state.
