The desired state of the module. Module adminStatus should be managed for all modules in the shelf. When adminStatus is 'down', this module is not operational i.e. this module doesn't handle traffic and doesn't generate traps. Setting module adminStatus to up should always succeed (the operStatus might remain 'down' as a result of a failure). up The desired state for this module is operational. down The desired state for this module is disabled.When a managed system initializes, all instances start with mdlCAdminStatus in the up(1) state. As a result of either explicit management action or per configuration information retained by the managed system, mdlCAdminStatus is then changed to either the 'down' or remains in the 'up' state.
