This property provides the current state of the port. It is a ring as described in the following table: Disabled: The protocol is disabled on the port. No protocol messages are transmitted in this state. The port discards received messages for the protocol. The port is in this state when Protocol Enabled? is false. Master: The port is sending time. If the clock has only one port, the port is acting as grandmaster. Passive: The port is exchanging messages to measure Propagation Delay, but the port is not sending time (Master) or receiving time (Slave). Slave: The port is receiving time. In IEEE Std 802.1AS, the port is not necessarily synchronized (calibrated). In IEEE Std 1588, the port is assumed to be synchronized.
