This indicates the operational status of the Port. Writing a partition(2) will partition the port indefinitely and enabled(1) will enable the port. If a timed partition is desired, then writing timedPartition(4) to this object at the same time that a time value is supplied in s3EnetPortPartTime is required. Timed partitions will not survive across a reset. In this case the port will go to the partition(2) state. The value latSecPartition(5) is returned when the port has been automatically partitioned by the LattisSecure Host Module because of a security violation. The value autoPartition(3) is returned when the port has been automatically partitioned by the repeater using the 802.3 repeater auto-partition function. The agent will not allow this object to be set to autoPartition(3) or latSecPartition(5) using an SNMP request.
