Description: A table of Interconnect Elements. Interconnect Elements (IEs) are switches, hubs, bridges etc.

By default, the Fabric Configuration Server will maintain detailed information pertaining only to local resources. As far as discovered topology is concerned, only the IE name, type, and Domain ID information will be maintained. If a discovery cycle is triggered on a set of Fabrics, this table along with the Port and Platform tables will be populated with the discovered information. The discovered data will be retained in this table for at least t11FcsFabricDiscoveryTimeOut seconds after the completion of its discovery or until the discovered data is invalidated.
