###PORT STATE GENERATED USING AUTOSAVE-ONCE###
###AUTOSAVE-ONCE###
###AUTOSAVE###
#
# If you want AUTOSAVE switched on, make the AUTOSAVE line above the
# FIRST line of the file.
#
# AUTOSAVE-ONCE, if it is first, will save the port status and then move
# itself to the second line of the file (thus effectively stopping further
# AUTOSAVEs).
