Port settings
Figure 17: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol – port settings
The port settings screen tab enables the following settings to be made:
Port: Displays the port number.
RSTP on: RSTP can be activated or deactivated for each port.
Status: This column displays the status of the individual ports. This is differentiated between:
Blocking: Discards packets; does not learn addresses; does not receive and processes
BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units = RSTP protocol packets)
Listening: Discards packets; does not learn addresses; receives, processes, and transfers
BPDUs
Learning: Discards packets; learns addresses; receives, processes, and transfers BPDUs
Forwarding: Forwards packets; learns addresses; receives, processes, and transfers BPDUs
Disabled: Discards packets; does not learn addresses; does not receive and process BPDUs
Role: According to IEEE 802.1D-2004, each port is able to run in one of the following modes:
Root Port: A port in the forwarding state that was selected for the best tree structure.
Designated Port: A port in the forwarding state that has been selected for any switched
LAN segment.
