McDATA SNMP Support

Access R/W

Description The desired state of the Fx_Port. A management station may place

the Fx_Port in a desired state by setting this object accordingly. The

testing(3) state indicates that no operational frames can be passed.

When a Fabric Element initializes, all Fx_Port start with

fcFxPortPhysAdminStatus in the offline(2) state.

As the result of either explicit management action or per

configuration information accessible by the Fabric Element,

fcFxPortPhysAdminStatus is then changed to either the online(1) or

testing(3) states, or remains in the offline state. The values are defined

as follow: online(1) – place port online, offline(2) – take port offline,

testing (3).

If the port cannot be set to testing because it is inactive or in a failed

state, the return value will be resource_unavailable(13).
