What does it mean if a network interface port is marked as 'administratively down'?
The port is disabled through configuration
The port has automatically shut down due to a network error
The port is receiving no power
The port is experiencing physical connectivity issues
When a network interface port is marked as 'administratively down', it indicates that the port has been manually disabled through configuration. This is often done for security reasons, maintenance, or to disable unused ports. This status is not because of a physical disconnect or a hardware issue, which differentiates it from other port statuses such as 'error disabled' or 'suspended'.
