Administrative And Operational States - Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x3100 Series Manual

Administrative and Operational States

If the profile name associated with an interface is changed at the NMS, the NMS updates the product to
•
ensure that NMS and product are in sync with regard to the profile name.
If, at the NMS, a new profile is applied to a given collection of interface, the NMS automatically updates the
•
product.
The profile settings exist at the CLI to ensure that the profile name survives in a text configuration-based
•
restore. As a result, users have the ability to override the NMS profile name at the product. This results in
mismatch notifications at the NMS when the NMS rediscovers the device. The user at the NMS can then
redeploy the NMS profile and reset the External Profile name to the NMS Profile name.
The NMS profile name has a maximum of 50 characters, and rejects a profile name of 'None'. (Refer to the
•
AlliedView NMS Administration Guide for a complete description of Profile naming conventions.)

1.17.5 Administrative and Operational States
1.17.5.1 Overview
Administrative and Operational States determine whether the card or port is available for service and, if avail-
able for service, whether it is being provided:
The Administrative State is controlled by the user and can be set to either UP (available for service) or
•
DOWN (Not available for service). Control of this state is through the ENABLE/DISABLE command.
The Operational State is either UP (providing service) or DOWN (not providing service). This state is
•
not user controllable but does depend on the Administrative State:
If the Administrative State of a card is UP, the Operational State will be UP if the card/port can provide
•
service.
