Interface States

The interface state depends on the administrative configuration of the interface and the dynamic state of
the physical link. The following sections describe the states and configuration that influence the state:

Interface is disabled. If you administratively disable an interface by shutting
down that interface, the physical link layer state change is ignored.
Operational States
Description
Interface is transmitting or receiving traffic as desired. To be in this state, an
interface must be administratively up, the interface link layer state must be up, and
the interface initialization must be completed.
Interface cannot transmit or receive (data) traffic.
Interface is operational in TE mode.
