Port Administrative States
The port administrative state determines the operational state of a port. The port
administrative state has two forms: the configured administrative state and the
current administrative state.
Configured administrative state — the state that is saved in the switch
configuration and is preserved across switch resets. QuickTools always
makes changes to the configured administrative state.
Current administrative state — the state that is applied to the port for
temporary purposes and is not preserved across switch resets. The current
administrative state is set with the Set Port command using the command
line interface.
Table 5-5
describes the port administrative states. To change port administrative
state, do the following:
1.
Select one or more ports in the faceplate display.
2.
Open the Port menu and select
Port Properties
to open the Port Properties
dialog.
3.
Select the
Port State
option from the drop-down list.
4.
Click the
OK
button to write the new port state request to the switch.
Downed — the port is disabled, power is removed
from the lasers, and can’t be logged in.
