Figure 19. Internal Port Properties window
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 33 for more information. See Table 30 on page 114 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.
