switchShow
2
F_Port
Point-to-point port; displays the WWN of the attached N_Port. If that specific
F_Port receives 1 FDISK frame, switchShow displays the total number of NPIV
Public ports as 1, for example: F_Port 1 NPort + 1 NPIV devices. If the base
device logs out with NPIV devices logged in, the command displays the number of
NPIV devices, for example, F_Port 1 NPort + 2 NPIV.
G_Port
Point-to-point port, but not yet E_Port or F_Port.
L_Port
Loop port; displays the number of NL_Ports.
EX_Port
Router port; displays the WWN of the attached edge switch.
VF_Port
FCoE Virtual F_Port. For these ports, the number of NPIV or external device
logins is displayed ("n VN-Port(s)"), instead of the WWN of the internal port.
VF_Port Disabled
FCoE Virtual F_Port is disabled.
D_Port Dynamic
The port is in Dynamic D_Port mode. Use the configure command to set the
Dynamic D_Port mode.
D_Port On-demand
The port is in On-demand D_Port mode. Use the configure command to set the
On-demand D_Port mode.
D_Port protocol violation
The port is stuck in G_Port state. The Static D_Port configuration is removed but
the remote port is still in Static D-Port mode, which results in the switch port stuck
in G_Port mode.
D_Port F_Port WWN Dynamic
The port is connected to a device port in the D_Port mode.
SIM Port
The port is a simulated (SIM) port.
Mirror Port
The port is a mirror port.
(Trunk master)
The port is the master port in a group of trunking ports.
(Trunk port, master is port #x)
The port is configured as a trunking port; the master port is port #x.
(upstream)
The E_Port is an upstream path toward the principal switch of the fabric.
(downstream)
The E_Port is a downstream path away from the principal switch of the fabric.
FICON Persistent DID
This port has been disabled, because the switch could not obtain its configuration
domain ID during the fabric reconfiguration when fmsmode was enabled. See the
ficonCupSet help page for more information.
Fabric ID conflict
Two different fabrics have been assigned the same fabric ID. Applicable only to
EX_Ports and Logical Fabric environments.
