Switch Manager Port States parameters The port administrative state determines the operational state of a port. The port administrative state exists in two forms: ■ The configured administrative state is the state that is saved in the switch configuration and is preserved across switch resets. Switch Manager 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 resets. The current administrative state is set using the Set Port command. See the "Set Port command" on page 146. Table 25 describes the port administrative states. 1. Select one or more ports in the faceplate display. 2. Select Port > Port Properties. The Port Properties dialog box is displayed. 3. Click the Port States option that corresponds to the port state you want. 4. Click OK.
