Sync – Once the Root port is elected, it sets a sync signal on all the ports on the bridge. The signal tells the
ports to synchronize their roles and states (Figure 7.5). Ports that are non-edge ports with a role of
Designated port change into a discarding state. These ports have to negotiate with their peer ports to
establish their new roles and states.
