Admin State Relationships

This section provides additional details about the Admin State field on the Transport Manager > Maintenance > Transport page.

The Admin State tells the MP server what protocol state the Transport should be in. If the Transport protocol state does not match what is expected for the Admin State, the MP server actively tries to resolve the problem until the Admin State and the protocol state match. The relationship between the Admin State and the protocol state is reflected in the Transport Status.
