description

string

A description of the FC port.

enabled

boolean

The administrative state of the FC port. If this property is set to false, all FC connectivity to FC interfaces are blocked. Optional in PATCH.

speed

speed

The physical device speed related properties of the FC port.

state

string

The operational state of the FC port.

  • startup - The port is booting up.

  • link_not_connected - The port has finished initialization, but a link with the fabric is not established.

  • online - The port is initialized and a link with the fabric has been established.

  • link_disconnected - The link was present at one point on this port but is currently not established.

  • offlined_by_user - The port is administratively disabled.

  • offlined_by_system - The port is set to offline by the system. This happens when the port encounters too many errors.

  • node_offline - The state information for the port cannot be retrieved. The node is offline or inaccessible.

supported_protocols

array[string]

The network protocols supported by the FC port.

transceiver

transceiver

Properties of the transceiver connected to the FC port.

uuid

string

The unique identifier of the FC port.

wwnn

string

The base world wide node name (WWNN) for the FC port.

wwpn

string

The base world wide port name (WWPN) for the FC port.

fabric

Properties of the fabric to which the FC port is attached.

Name Type Description

connected

boolean

Reports if the physical port has established a connection with the FC fabric.

connected_speed

integer

The negotiated data rate between the target FC port and the fabric in gigabits per second.

name

string

The name of the fabric to which the port is connected. This is only available when the FC port is connected to a fabric.

There is an added cost to retrieving this property's value. It is not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless it is explicitly requested using the fields query parameter. See DOC Requesting specific fields to learn more.

port_address

string

The FC port address of the host bus adapter (HBA) physical port.

Each FC port in an FC switched fabric has its own unique FC port address for routing purposes. The FC port address is assigned by a switch in the fabric when that port logs in to the fabric. This property refers to the FC port address given to the physical host bus adapter (HBA) port when the port performs a fabric login (FLOGI).

This is useful for obtaining statistics and diagnostic information from FC switches.

This is a six-digit hexadecimal encoded numeric value.

switch_port

string

The switch port to which the FC port is connected.
