Notes QuickTools and Enterprise Fabric Management Suite will override any temporary administrative state
changes that have been made using the Set Port State command. Therefore, to avoid unexpected
results, do not manage port administrative states with QuickTools or Enterprise Fabric Management
Suite and the CLI at the same time.
