What is apsAdminMode?

This enumerated value reports how a port is administratively configured for SONET APS: unprotected (no APS configured), working (a working channel), or protection (a protection channel). Admins use it to confirm which physical line is meant to carry live traffic (working) and which is the standby line (protection) before troubleshooting a switchover, since a port left at unprotected(3) will never fail over. For example, if a fiber cut occurs on a port whose apsAdminMode reads working(1), the admin expects traffic to have automatically shifted to the paired protection(2) port and can check apsOperMode to confirm the switch actually happened.
