SPANNING TREE
7-6
7.2.1 Bridge Port Parameters Screen Data
Port-specific Spanning Tree information includes:
Port Priority shows the port priority portion of the port identifier.
The port priority is one of the values used by STA to choose a Root
port for the bridge. A lower number indicates a higher priority.
(Default = 80. The allowable range is 0 to FF.)
Uptime displays the elapsed time (in seconds) since the respective
port was last reset or initialized.
Port State indicates the current state of the port. Five states are
possible:
DISABLED
Management has disabled this port.
No traffic can be received or
forwarded while the port is disabled.
LEARNING
The bridge is learning network
addresses. The bridge enters the
Learning state (during start-up), or
when the STA executes due to a
network topology change.
LISTENING
The bridge is monitoring BPDU traffic
while preparing to move from the
Learning to the Forwarding state.
FORWARDING
The bridge is on-line and this port is
forwarding traffic.
BLOCKING
The port will not forward any traffic
through the bridge.
