Product Manager Overview
When a port is not logged into an end-device (not functioning as an
F_Port) or to another switch (not functioning as an E_Port), the
message is the port’s current online state. When the port is logged
into an end device (functioning as an F_Port), the message is the
WWN of the device. A port can also function as an FL_Port.
