What is swPortCipherMode?
This value reports which class of frames on this port are being encrypted: none, all frames, FCP plus non-FCP frames excluding ELS and BLS frames, or only FCP frames. Admins use it to confirm the scope of encryption matches policy, since selectively encrypting only FCP data frames versus all frames carries different security and performance tradeoffs. A port reporting onlyFCP(4) is encrypting SCSI data traffic but leaving control frames like ELS unencrypted.
