LS Attributes
On a switch in Virtual Fabric mode, this field displays logical switch attributes,
including the fabric ID associated with the logical switch, the switch role (default
switch or base switch), and the fabric Address Mode (0, 2 or 3). If Virtual Fabrics
are disabled, only the Address Mode is displayed. The fabric Address Mode value
is set by the configure command (Enable a 256 Area Limit).
The switch summary is followed by one-line description for non-EX_Ports and one or two lines for
