Port operational states
To view the operational state of each port in the faceplate display, open the View menu and select View
Port States. Table 21 lists the possible operational states and their meanings.
Port administrative states
The port administrative state determines the operational state of a port. The port administrative state has
two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state.
Configured administrative state—The state that is saved in the switch configuration and is preserved
across switch resets. QuickTools always makes changes to the configured administrative state.
Current administrative state—The state that is applied to the port for temporary purposes and is not
preserved across switch resets. The current administrative state is set with the Set Port command using
the command line interface.
Table 22 describes the port administrative states.
To change the port administrative state:
1. Select one or more ports in the faceplate display.
2. Open the Port menu and select Port Properties to open the Port Properties dialog box.
3. Select the Port State option from the drop-down list.
4. Click OK to write the new port state request to the switch.
