This list shows the possible values that may appear in the Admin State field of the Transport Manager > Maintenance > Transport page. A description of each state is also provided.
- Enabled- the MP server associated with the Transport begins attempts to bring the Transport to the SCTP Established state and the ASP-UP Operational State.
- Blocked-the SCTP connection should be up, but no M3UA signaling is allowed. The MP server associated with the Transport begins attempts to bring the Transport to the SCTP Established state and the ASP-DOWN state. The Blocked administrative state is useful for cases in which the network operator wishes to verify IP network connectivity without allowing any M3UA signaling.
- Disabled-the MP server associated with the Transport begins attempts to bring the Transport to the SCTP Closed state and the ASP-DOWN states.
The relationship between the Admin State and the protocol state is reflected in the Transport Status (Viewing the Status of a Transport).
Orange color in the Admin State field highlights the value when the value is anything other than Enabled.
When a new Association is configured, the Association is in the Disabled administrative state and must be manually placed in the Enabled administrative state.
