Why each option

FabricPath technology employs specialized port types to establish its Layer 2 multipathing domain and integrate with classical Ethernet networks.

AF Port

F Port (Fabric Port) is a Fibre Channel term for a port on an end device (N Port) that connects to a Fibre Channel switch.

BNL Port

NL Port (Node Loop Port) is a Fibre Channel term for a port that can operate in an Arbitrated Loop environment.

CE Port

E Port (Expansion Port) is a Fibre Channel term for an inter-switch link (ISL) connecting two Fibre Channel switches.

Dedge portCorrect

An edge port in FabricPath connects to classical Ethernet devices, enabling them to communicate with the FabricPath domain by encapsulating and decapsulating FabricPath headers.

Ecore portCorrect

A core port in FabricPath connects to other FabricPath-enabled switches within the FabricPath domain, participating in the FabricPath control plane and forwarding data between core devices.
