Fields
Definition
FCoE-MAC
Source MAC address of the FCoE packets that are originated by the ENode as part
of the session.
Request (FP, SP)
FIP session request type sent by ENode. This can be FLOGI or FDESC (NPIV FDISC).
Whereas FP and SP values are the FP bit and the SP bit values in the FLOGI or
NPIV FDISC request respectively.
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 number of hours, and z represents minutes elapsed following
this successful virtual session. This field has no useful information for waiting
sessions.
