This value reports the transport type (an Fibre Channel-appropriate transport) that the physical Fibre Channel endpoint representing one FC-facing port on the fabric interconnect, together with the neighbor device it discovers on the wire uses. An administrator auditing endpoint configuration checks transport on this PhysFcEp instance to confirm it matches the physical medium actually plugged into that port. For example, a transport value inconsistent with the actual cable type plugged into that port would be a red flag an operator investigates before blaming the hardware.
