What is swPortEncrypt?

This value reports whether frame encryption is currently active on this Fibre Channel port. Admins check it to confirm secure links, such as encrypted inter-switch or extension links, are actually encrypting traffic as configured rather than silently falling back to cleartext. A port showing disabled(2) when encryption was expected would alert an admin to a misconfiguration or negotiation failure.
