Symbolic Name
The symbolic name is a user-defined name of up to 63 characters that identifies
the switch. The symbolic name is used in the topology and faceplate displays, as
well as many data windows to more easily identify switches. The illegal characters
are the pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).

Switch Administrative States
The switch administrative state determines the operational state of the switch. The
switch 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
configuration and is preserved across switch resets. SANbox Manager
always makes changes to the configured administrative state. The
configured administrative state is displayed in the Switch Properties dialog.
The current administrative state is the state that is applied to the switch for
temporary purposes and is not retained across switch resets. The current
administrative state is set using the Set Switch command. Refer to the ”Set
Command” on page A-30.
Table 4-6 describes the administrative state values.
