Switch Administrative States
The switch administrative state determines the operational state of the switch. The
switch administrative state exists in two forms: the configured administrative state
and the current administrative state.
The configured administrative state is the state that is saved in the switch
configuration and is preserved across switch resets. SANbox Manager
always makes changes to the configured administrative state.
The current administrative state is the state that is applied to the switch for
temporary purposes and is not retained across switch resets. The current
administrative state is set using the Set Switch command. Refer to the ”Set
Command” on page A-27.
