Request Body

Name	Type	Description
_links	_links
comment	string	A user configurable comment. Optional in POST; valid in PATCH. To clear a prior comment, set the property to an empty string in PATCH.
data_protocol	string	The data protocol for which the FC interface is configured. Required in POST.
enabled	boolean	The administrative state of the FC interface. The FC interface can be disabled to block all FC communication with the SVM through this interface. Optional in POST and PATCH; defaults to true (enabled) in POST.
location	location	The location of the FC interface is defined by the location of its port. An FC port is identified by its UUID, or a combination of its node name and port name. Either the UUID or the node name and port name are required for POST. To move an interface, supply either the UUID or the node name and port name in a PATCH. The location of an FC interface can be set using "location.home_node" and "location.home_port" during a POST or PATCH. "location.node" and "location.port" refer to the current location of the FC interface. This can be different from "location.home_node" and "location.home_port" in instances where the FC interface failed over due to an offline node.
metric	metric	Performance numbers, such as IOPS latency and throughput
name	string	The name of the FC interface. Required in POST; optional in PATCH.
port_address	string	The port address of the FC interface. 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 address given by a switch to the FC interface when the SVM performs a port login (PLOGI). This is useful for obtaining statistics and diagnostic information from FC switches. This is a hexadecimal encoded numeric value.
state	string	The current operational state of the FC interface. The state is set to down if the interface is not enabled. If the node hosting the port is down or unavailable, no state value is returned.
statistics	statistics	These are raw performance numbers, such as IOPS latency and throughput. These numbers are aggregated across all nodes in the cluster and increase with the uptime of the cluster.
svm	svm
uuid	string	The unique identifier of the FC interface. Required in the URL.
wwnn	string	The world wide node name (WWNN) of the FC interface SVM. The WWNN is generated by ONTAP when Fibre Channel Protocol or the NVMe service is created for the FC interface SVM. example: 20:00:00:50:56:b4:13:01 readOnly: 1 Introduced in: 9.6
wwpn	string	The world wide port name (WWPN) of the FC interface. The WWPN is generated by ONTAP when the FC interface is created. example: 20:00:00:50:56:b4:13:a8 readOnly: 1 Introduced in: 9.6

fc_interface

A Fibre Channel (FC) interface is the logical endpoint for FC network connections to an SVM. An FC interface provides FC access to storage within the interface SVM using either Fibre Channel Protocol or NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC).

An FC interface is created on an FC port which is located on a cluster node. The FC port must be specified to identify the location of the interface for a POST or PATCH operation that relocates an interface. You can identify the port by supplying either the node and port names or the port UUID.

This property refers to the address given by a switch to the FC interface when the SVM performs a port login (PLOGI). This is useful for obtaining statistics and diagnostic information from FC switches. This is a hexadecimal encoded numeric value.
