Switch Port

Switch Port
CIM uses an FCPort class and a ProtocolEndPoint class for switch ports. Fabric Manager provides a
CIM_FCPort view for the FCPort class. This view also contains rows for device ports. The
CIM_FCPort view does not filter out virtual ports created for phantom switches. Virtual ports do not
automatically show up in the switch_port table; they are created when a device node is imported from
the phantom switches.
Fabric Manager does not have a view for the ProtocolEndPoint class.

Fabric_Id Int Key Database
key, used for
joins with
fabrics.
For switch port: fabric.dbid
where switches.fabric_id=
fabric.dbid.
For device_port:
device_port.fabric_id

Switch_id Int Database
key, used for
joins with
switches.
For switch port:
switch_port.switch_id.
For device_port:
switch_port.switch_id
where device_port.switch_
port_wwn =
switch_port.port_wwn.
If join fails (for offline
devices), set to -1.
