This enumerated field (CucsFabricConfMode) reports the configuration mode (e.g. discrete versus port-channel) that the fabric interconnect's internal endpoint manager, the per-switch process that drives port and port-channel configuration through its state machine is currently operating under. This mode determines whether the switch's server-facing links are managed individually or as a bundled channel, which is exactly the setting an admin changes when converting a chassis's connectivity from discrete links to a port-channel for added redundancy. A value of 'port-channel' means this switch's server links are bundled; 'discrete' would mean they're managed as independent, unbundled links.
