Administrative and Operational States Introduction

Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches (Setting Up the Switch)
• If the profile name associated with an interface is changed at the NMS, the NMS updates the product to
ensure that NMS and product are in sync with regard to the profile name.
• If, at the NMS, a new profile is applied to a given collection of interface, the NMS automatically updates the
product.
• The profile settings exist at the CLI to ensure that the profile name survives in a text configuration-based
restore. As a result, users have the ability to override the NMS profile name at the product. This results in
mismatch notifications at the NMS when the NMS rediscovers the device. The user at the NMS can then
redeploy the NMS profile and reset the External Profile name to the NMS Profile name.
• The NMS profile name has a maximum of 50 characters, and rejects a profile name of ‘None’. (Refer to the
AlliedView NMS Administration Guide for a complete description of Profile naming conventions.)
The SET INTERFACE EXTERNALPROFILE supports the specification of an external profile name on an inter-
face.
Note: In most circumstances, the user should not manually change the External Profile name.

1.17.5 Administrative and Operational States
1.17.5.1 Overview
Administrative and Operational States determine whether the card or port is available for service and, if avail-
able for service, whether it is being provided:
• The Administrative State is controlled by the user and can be set to either UP (available for service) or
DOWN (Not available for service). Control of this state is through the ENABLE/DISABLE command.
• The Operational State is either UP (providing service) or DOWN (not providing service). This state is
not user controllable but does depend on the Administrative State:
• If the Administrative State of a card is UP, the Operational State will be UP if the card/port can provide
service.
