Administratively Manage a Device State

You can administratively manage the state of an SLX device using the EFA command line.

You can change a state to up or down, delete a state from the history, and view the state history and the current state. For details about the command and its parameters, see the Extreme Fabric Automation Command Reference, 2.4.0.

To change a device to the up state, run the following command.
```
$ efa inventory admin-state up --ip <device IP>
AdminStateUp [success]
Admin State Up execution UUID: 8d9fa0cf-dc76-42cc-ac7a-57902a47c1b2
```
This example changes the state for the specified IP address and generates a UUID, which you can use in the efa inventory admin-state detail version of the command.
To change a device to the down state, run the following command.
```
$ efa inventory admin-state down --ip <device IP>
AdminStateDown [success]
Admin State Down execution UUID: 28eb0845-7a7a-4851-b453-b3020c6900f2
```
This example changes the state for the specified IP address and generates a UUID, which you can use in the efa inventory admin-state detail version of the command.

To review the details of a state change, run the following command.

$ efa inventory admin-state detail --uuid 28eb0845-7a7a-4851-b453-b3020c6900f2

To view the history of the admin changes for a specified device, run the following command.
```
# efa inventory admin-state history --ip <device IP>
```
To display the admin state and the health check state of a device, run the following command.
```
$ efa inventory admin-state show --ip <device IP>
```
To delete the instance of the admin state change for a device, run the following command.
```
$ efa inventory admin-state delete --key <device IP or UUID>
```
