Hi everyone - I was looking into the documentation for FabricNode and saw two fields revealing the status of the node: AdSt and FabricSt
AdSt defined as:
The administrative state of the node.
FabricSt as:
Fabric state of the node
Can anyone point me to further documentation explaining what these different states means in the context of Cisco ACI? For example, an APIC that seems to be available has adSt "on" but fabricSt "unknown" - this means it's up and running? Or does fabricSt not apply to APIC devices? "unknown" seems to be the default if not set for that Enum. But leaf/spine nodes seem to have something specified up if registered to the fabric. Thanks!

Admin state refers to the operational state that is controlled by the administrator. It determines whether a particular object, such as a node, interface, or endpoint, is administratively enabled or disabled.
Key Points:
Fabric state, on the other hand, reflects the actual operational status of the fabric components as seen by the ACI fabric. It provides insights into whether the components are functioning correctly within the fabric, regardless of their admin state.
Key Points:
Control vs. Reality:
Function:
