Expiry Time This is virtual connection/session expiry interval. This is used to
monitor the status of the session. Session entry is removed
when the value reaches 0. This value is reset to 450 secs (5*90
secs) every time an associated VN_Port FKA is received from
the ENode. This is ignored (marked as NA) if the D-bit is set to
one in the FCF Discovery Advertisements.
Mode This is the addressing mode in use by the VN_Port at ENode. In
other words, this is the type of MAC address granted (selected
and returned) by FCF. This can be one of the addressing
modes, i.e. FPMA or SPMA.
State This is the state of the virtual session. The state is displayed as
Tentative during the process of ENode login to FCF (using
FLOGI or FDESC). It displays Active after ENode and FCF
establish a successful virtual connection.
Session-Time Time elapsed after this successful virtual session is established
by ENode with FCF. The value is displayed in xd, yh, zm format
where x represents number of days, y represents hours and z
represents minutes elapsed following this successful virtual
session. This field has no useful information for waiting
sessions.
