This read-write enumerated value turns Remote SPAN (RSPAN) on or off at the switch level, where enabled(1) means the RSPAN configuration entry stays resident in the table, and writing disabled(2) both applies that value and removes the corresponding entry from the table. Admins use it as the master switch for a remote port-mirroring session, and because setting it to disabled actually deletes the configuration, they need to understand this isn't a simple pause. For example, an admin done troubleshooting a remote-monitored VLAN would set this to disabled(2), which both disables and removes that RSPAN entry in one operation.
