IBM Prerequisite Scanner User Manual page 16

For example, you can have a prerequisite property for available network ports. You
can further categorize that prerequisite property to check available ports for a
database server, application server, or protocol.
<suffix_identifier> is an optional identifier for a subtype in the prerequisite property
name.
Table 4 outlines the predefined subtypes for different categories of prerequisite
properties including the <suffix_identifier>.
