This read-create enumerated value is the administrative status of this LDP entity; changing it from enable to disable after the entity has already contacted a peer, implying csLdpEntityRowStatus is active, causes all contact with that peer to be lost and requires the resulting MIB information from that peer to be removed. It gives an administrator direct control over whether a specific LDP entity is actively attempting or maintaining a session with its peer. An administrator performing planned maintenance on a peer router would set csLdpEntityAdminStatus to disable(2) on this entity beforehand to cleanly tear down the LDP session rather than let it time out.
