The administrative port type (G, GL, F, FL, or<br />
Donor). This value is persistent; it will be maintained<br />
during a switch reset. During port<br />
auto-configuration, it will be used to determine<br />
which operational port states are allowed.<br />
The port type that is currently active. This value<br />
will be set during port auto-configuration based<br />
on the administrative port type.<br />
The port state (Online, Offline, Diagnostics, or<br />
Down) that has been set by the user. This state<br />
may be different from the configured administrative<br />
state if the user has not saved it in the<br />
switch configuration. This state is used at the<br />
time it is set to try to set the port operational<br />
state. This value is not persistent and will be lost<br />
on a switch reset.<br />
The port state that is currently active. This value<br />
may be different from the administrative port<br />
state, for example due to an error condition.<br />
The port state (Online, Offline, Diagnostics, or<br />
Down) that is saved in the switch configuration,<br />
either by the user or at the factory. This value is<br />
persistent; it will be maintained during a switch<br />
reset, and will be used after a reset to set the<br />
port operational state.<br />
