Changing port administrative states
The Port Administrative state determines the operational state of a port. The port administrative state exists in
two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state.
The Configured Administrative state is the state that is saved in the switch module configuration and is
preserved across switch module resets. The SAN Utility always makes changes to the configured
administrative state.
The Current Administrative state is the state that is applied to the port for temporary purposes and is not
preserved across switch module resets. The current administrative state is set using the Set Port command. See
“Set Port command” on page 37 for more information. See Table 30 on page 117 for additional port
administrative state descriptions.
The Port Administrative state determines the internal and external port operational state. The port
administrative state refers to the requested state in the SAN Utility or through a Telnet command. The port
operational state refers to the state actually used by the port.
Complete the following steps to change the port administrative state:
1. Select one or more ports in the Faceplate window.
2. Click
Port / Port Properties.
The Port Properties window opens.
3. Click the
Port States that corresponds to the port state you
want.
4. Click
OK to write the new port state to the switch module.
