DS8XXXX Display Current Speed for Fibre Channel Ports As Well As Maximum Speed

I would request that the DS8 CLI and GUI be improved so that the current operating speed of a Fibre Channel Port will be displayed in:

1) lsioport output
2) On a new column on the the Settings > Network > Fibre Channel Ports page.
3) When hovering over the port on the graphical display of the system from the Dashboard.
4) From the Host Adapters popup table from the System Health View
5) In Storage Insights within the Internal Resources > FC Ports table.
