For better URLs, the content folder has been renamed 'docs' and all other files have been moved up a level. Also, non-docs images have been moved to the static folder at the top level where they belong. Many relative paths had to be fixed to make this work.

# rippled Server States
|
|
|
|
Depending on how the `rippled` server is configured, how long it has been running, and other factors, a server may be participating in the global XRP Ledger peer-to-peer network to different degrees. This is represented as the `server_state` field in the responses to the [server_info method][] and [server_state method][]. The possible responses follow a range of ascending interaction, with each later value superseding the previous one. Their definitions are as follows (in order of increasing priority):
|
|
|
|
| `Value` | Description |
|
|
|:---------------|:------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `disconnected` | The server is not connected to the XRP Ledger peer-to-peer network whatsoever. It may be running in offline mode, or it may not be able to access the network for whatever reason. |
|
|
| `connected` | The server believes it is connected to the network. |
|
|
| `syncing` | The server is currently behind on ledger versions. (It is normal for a server to spend a few minutes catching up after you start it.) |
|
|
| `tracking` | The server is in agreement with the network |
|
|
| `full` | The server is fully caught-up with the network and could participate in validation, but is not doing so (possibly because it has not been configured as a validator). |
|
|
| `validating` | The server is currently participating in validation of the ledger |
|
|
| `proposing` | The server is participating in validation of the ledger and currently proposing its own version. |
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The distinction between `full`, `validating`, and `proposing` is based on synchronization with the rest of the global network, and it is normal for a server to fluctuate between these states as a course of general operation.
