HP 12-Port 4X Fabric Copper Switch Commands
Show Commands
Appendix B
195
The administrative (admin) status, speed, and connection-type reflect the values you had assigned. The
operational (oper) status, speed, and connection-type reflect the values derived from the physical hardware
and its connections. This allows you to verify your configuration settings against the actual hardware. The
admin/oper pairs do not have to match for you to use the card. However, if there is a mismatch, the oper value
is used.
Examples:
The following example shows the output of the show interface ib command without the sma sub-command or
statistics keyword.

down. If this field is down but the admin-status is up, check that the Fabric interface card is securely seated
in the slot and a cable is attached between the port and the target Fabric host.
