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.
