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 H3C
LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card configuration and is preserved across H3C
LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card 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 H3C LSW1FC4P0
Interface Card resets. The current administrative state is set with the Set
Port command using the command line interface.
Table 3-20 describes the port administrative states. To change port administrative
state, do the following:
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.
3. Select the Port State option from the drop-down list.
4. Click the OK button to write the new port state request to the H3C
LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card.
