Enabling a Transport

When a Transport is put in the Enabled Administrative State, the MP server associated with the Transport attempts to bring the Transport to the SCTP Established state and the ASP-UP state.

You can enable multiple Transports at the same time.

1. Select Transport Manager > Maintenance > Transport.
2. Click on the row to highlight the Transport you wish to enable.
   Enable is not grayed out if the Transport's Administrative State is already Enabled.

   Also, if collection on the server is not working, all buttons (Enable, Block, and Disable) are active to give the user control when the status is unknown. The MP server disregards the command if the Transport is already in the selected Administrative State.

3. Click Enable.

   A confirmation message appears.

4. Click OK to confirm.
   If the Transport is successfully enabled,

   • The Operational Status field shows Up.
   • The Up/Down Since column now indicates when the Transport transitioned into the Up status.
   • The orange color is removed from the Admin State field.
   • Enable is now grayed out.

   If OK is clicked and the selected Transport has been deleted by another user, an error message appears.
