Description: The Path which is assigned to this port. In some cases, one or more Paths will be assigned to a single Port. This object will return the lowest number Path in that case. For those situations where more than one Port is assigned to a single Path (e.g., nport), this object will return the Path Index (or Parent Port).

This object must be specified when adding a new virtual port.

In the case where the dialpool (pool of dynamic dial paths) is assigned to a port, a value of -1 will be used to indicate that. When doing a get(read) of either a virtual or non-virtual dial port, a return value of -1 indicates that the dialpool is assigned to that port. A write(set) operation using a path number value of -1 is required only in the case of creating a virtual dynamic dial port; to create a non-virtual dynamic dial port, setting this object is not required.
