start discovery and obtain information about the fabric topology.
FCSs supports TE and TL ports in addition to the standard F and E ports.
FCS can maintain a group of modes with a logical name and management address when a platform
registers with it. FCSs maintain a backup of all registrations in secondary storage and updates it with
every change. When a restart or switchover happens, FCSs retrieve the secondary storage
information, and rebuild its database.
The SNMP manager can query FCSs for all the IEs, ports, and platforms in the fabric.
