Restricts connections as follows:
• Inclusive classes (default): Allows ports to connect only when
they belong to the same class. When all port classes are
inclusive, ports not assigned a port class cannot connect to any
other port.
• Exclusive classes: Prevents ports of the same class from
connecting. When all port classes are exclusive, ports not
assigned a port class may patch to any other port.
