be maintained during a switch reset.

used to determine which operational port
states are allowed.

will be set during port auto-configuration
based on the administrative port type.

Diagnostics, or Down) which has been set
by the user. This state may be different
from the configured administrative state if
the user has not saved it in the switch
configuration. This state is used at the time
it is set to try to set the port operational
state. This value is not persistent and will
be lost on a switch reset.
Operational Port State The port state that is currently active. This
value may be different from the

port operational state.
