switchShow
E_Port
Fabric port; displays the world wide name (WWN) and name of the attached switch. If the
port is configured as an EX_Port, the WWN of the attached switch is the same as the router.
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

On-demand D_Port mode.
D_Port protocol violation

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.
