  • Base type Bits

A set of functions that a Fibre Channel Interconnect Element or Platform might perform. A value with no bits set, indicates the function(s) are unknown. The individual bits have the following meanings: other - none of the following. hub - a device that interconnects L_Ports, but does not operate as an FL_Port. switch - a fabric element conforming to the Fibre Channel switch fabric set of standards (e.g., FC-SW, FC-SW-2). bridge - a device that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames within another protocol (e.g., FC-BB, FC-BB-2). gateway - a device that converts an FC-4 to another protocol (e.g., FCP to iSCSI). host - a computer system that provides end users services such as computation and storage access. storageSubsys - an integrated collection of storage controllers, storage devices, and necessary software, that provides storage services to one or more hosts. storageAccessDev - a device that provides storage management and access for heterogeneous hosts and heterogeneous devices (e.g., medium changer). nas - a device that connects to a network and provides file access services. wdmux - a device that modulates/demodulates each of several data streams (e.g., Fibre Channel protocol data streams) onto/from a different part of the light spectrum in an optical fiber.
