Port Types

F_Port

Fabric port — supports a single public device (N_Port). 

FL_Port

Fabric loop port — self discovers a single device (N_Port) or a loop of up 
to 126 public devices (NL_Port).

G_Port

Generic port — self discovers as an F_Port or an E_Port.

GL_Port

Generic loop port — self discovers as an F_Port, FL_Port, or an E_Port. 
GL_Port is the default port type. A single device on a public loop will 
attempt to configure as an F_Port first, then if that fails, as an FL_Port.

Donor

Donor port — allows buffer credits to be used by another port.
