This enumerated field carries the specific sub-type classification UCS Manager assigns to this FC monitoring session within its object model. For an FC SPAN-style traffic-monitoring session that copies frames from a source port or VSAN to a designated analyzer port, the type value is what UCS Manager's fault and configuration logic uses internally to decide which validation rules and default behaviors apply to this specific object, as opposed to other kinds of construct that share the same parent container in the fabric MIB. An admin reading this value in a dump would see one of a small, fixed set of type strings defined for this class rather than free text.
