Figure 2-8. The Switch Application Display and Menu

For more information about the Switch Status window, see Viewing Switch Status, page 2-23; port display forms are described below.

Switch Port Display Forms

You can select three port display forms for switch interfaces; note that, although you can select both Input and Output state for each interface, it is unlikely that any single interface would have different input and output status values at any given time.

Admin State

An interface’s Administrative State is the state currently requested by management; note that this may not always be the same as the actual, or Operational, state described below:

ENB (enabled) — the port is administratively enabled.

DIS (disabled) — the port is administratively disabled.

Oper State

An interface’s Operational State is its actual state; note that this may not always be the same as the requested, or Admin, state described above:

ENB (enabled) — the port is enabled.

DIS (disabled) — the port is disabled.

PDIS (pending disable) — the port is in a transitional state, moving toward a state of disabled.

PENB (pending enable) — the port is in a transitional state, moving toward a state of enabled.
