Reports the type or role of this Virtual System within the VSX architecture, for example a Virtual System proper versus a Virtual Switch or Virtual Router. This distinction matters operationally because different VS types serve different roles in the chassis's internal topology, so an admin diagnosing a connectivity problem needs to know whether the entity in question does firewall inspection or just switches or routes traffic between other VSs. Example: confirming vsxStatusVsType reports 'Virtual Switch' rather than 'Virtual System' for one entry explains why that entry shows no policy or CPU-usage-per-tenant data; it's plumbing, not an inspecting firewall.
