•
Speed — Indicates the speed at which the port is operating.
•
Path Cost — Indicates the port contribution to the root path cost. The path cost is adjusted to a higher or
lower value, and is used to forward traffic when a path is re-routed.
•
Priority — Priority value of the port. The priority value influences the port choice when a bridge has two ports
connected in a loop. The priority value is between 0 -240. The priority value is determined in increments of 16.
•
Designated Bridge ID — Indicates the bridge priority and the MAC Address of the designated bridge.
•
Designated Port ID — Indicates the selected port D-Link priority and interface.
•
Designated Cost — Indicates the cost of the port participating in the STP topology. Ports with a lower cost
are less likely to be blocked if STP detects loops.

ing state.
