Description The shutdown command administratively disables an entity. When disabled, an entity does 
not change, reset, or remove any configuration settings or statistics. The operational state of 
the entity is disabled as well as the operational state of any entities contained within. Many 
objects must be shut down before they may be deleted.
The no form of this command places the entity into an administratively enabled state.
Services are created in the administratively down (shutdown) state. When a no shutdown 
command is entered, the service becomes administratively up and then tries to enter the 
operationally up state. Default administrative states for services and service entities is 
described below in Special Cases.
• Service Operational State
A v-VPLS is regarded as operational providing that one SAPs is operational. 
• SAP Operational State
A v-VPLS SAP is created on a port or a LAG, and belongs to the v-VPLS with the same 
VLAN ID as defined for the SAP. The SAP is created in the administratively up default 
state, and attempts to enter the operationally up state.
