> Field | Description
> --- | ---
> Description | A description of the switch and software.
> UpTime | The time since the network management portion of the system was last re-initialized.
> Name | An administratively-assigned name for this switch.
> Location | The physical location of this switch (e.g., `telephone closet, 3rd floor').
> Contact | The contact person for this switch, together with information on how to contact this person.
> SwitchWWN | The World-Wide Name of this switch.
> ClockDateAndTime | The current local date and time for the system. Setting this is equivalent to setting an automated clock and calendar.
> TimeZone | The current local time zone for the system. The time zone must be entered in the format GMT, which is the number of hours difference between your time zone and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
> ProcessorRAM | Total number of bytes of RAM available on the Processor.
> NVRAM | Total number of bytes of NVRAM in the entity.
> NVRAMUsed | Number of bytes of NVRAM in use.
> FIPSModeActivation | Enable or disable FIPS mode on the device. FIPS 140-2 is a set of security requirements for cryptographic modules and it details the U.S. Government requirements for cryptographic modules. A module will comprise both hardware and software such as a data center switching or routing module. The module is said to be in FIP- enabled mode when a request is recieved to enable the FIPS mode and a set of self-tests are successfully run in response to the request. If the self-tests fail, then an appropriate error is returned.
> CPUUtilization | The average utilization of CPU on the active supervisor.
> MemoryUtilization | The average utilization of memory on the active supervisor.
> FlashPartitionSize | Flash partition size.
> FlashPartitionFreeSpace | Free space within a Flash partition.
> Status | The overall status of the switch.
> Vendor | Switch vendor's name, such as Cisco, McData, or Brocade.
> Model | Switch model name, such as MDS 9134 or MDS 9124.
> Release | Switch software version.
> NumFCPorts | Number of physical FC ports in the switch.
> WWN | MAC address for the Ethernet VDCs that are discovered.
> VDCId | Unique IDs for the Ethernet VDCs that are discovered.
> FCoE Enabled | If true, FCoE is enabed for the Ethernet VDCs that are discovered.
