A director is a class of switch where everything is redundant. Two power supplies, two supervisors, redundant backplane, hot upgrades, etc. So that nothing should bring the director level switch down and cause outage

Port states in Brocade
Differences between port states, reported when execute the switchshow command (online, offline, no light, not sync, etc...).
I noticed that sometimes a particular is disable and its state show "no light" and other time its state says "not sync". Why?
Online/In_Sync
Normal operating port with a connected device / ISL to other switch. "Online" is the operating state, "In_Sync" the physical state of the receiver/transmitter. (to see the in_sync you have to issue a portshow, switchshow doesn't display it)
No_Module
no gbic/sfp inserted
No_Light
gbic/sfp inserted, maybe even cable connected, but receiving no light
Disabled/Offline
If you disable a port (via portdisable) its operating state goes to offline. Fabric OS doesn't check offline ports, this means the physical port state is nt display as whatever it was
If there was a device previously connected it displays as disabled/in_sync, if there was none it displays as disabled/no_light (or no_module). This physical state is only updated when you enable the port again.
swFCPortPhyState: noCard(1), noGbic(2), laserFault(3), noLight(4), noSync(5), inSync(6), portFault(7), diagFault(8), lockRef(9)
swFCPortOpStatus: unknown(0), online(1), offline(2), testing(3), faulty(4)
Port State in switchshow Description
No_Card No interface card present
No_Module No module (SFP or other) present
No_Light Module not receiving light
No_Sync Module receiving light but out of sync
In_Sync Module receiving light and in sync
Laser_Flt Module signaling a laser fault
Port_Flt Port marked faulty
Diag_Flt Port failed diagnostics
Lock_Ref Locking to the reference signal
Testing Running diagnostics
Online Port is up and running

Difference between WWN and WWPN?
A WWPN (world wide port name) is the unique identifier for a fibre channel port where a WWN (world wide name) the unique identifier for the node itself.
A good example is a dual port HBA. There will be two WWPN's (one for each port) and only a single WWN for the card itself.
It's actually the firt octet that is changing. For example the portName for my multiport Emulex card is 10000000c9592f6c. The NodeName is 2000000c9592f6c. The "1" is simply changed for "2". This is occuring for AIX Servers and Windows Servers. There is also a minor change between the portName and NodeName for my Clariion SP ports. For example portName shows 500601613021788f and NodeName for the same SP port shows 500601603021788f. The 61 changed to 60.
