Note

This article contains references to the term slave—a term that Microsoft doesn't condone, and has stopped using in new products and documentation. When the term is removed from the software, we’ll remove it from this article.

Represents an external Fibre Channel port.

The following syntax is simplified Managed Object Format (MOF) code, and it includes all of the inherited properties.
