Description
Field
to fail and the spanning tree algorithm determines the port may transition
to the forwarding state. BPDU data is still received in blocking state.
•
Forwarding—
A port receiving and sending data. STP still monitors incoming
BPDUs that may indicate it should return to the blocking state to prevent a
loop.
•
Disabled—
Not strictly part of STP, a network administrator can manually
disable a port.
The current Spanning Tree port path cost. This value is either computed from
the Auto setting or from any explicitly configured value.
Cost
Hello time parameter currently in use on the port.
Hello Time
A yes/no value. Yes indicates a switched link with only two nodes. No indicates
a shared network segment with more than two nodes. The value may be
automatically computed or explicitly configured.
Point-to-Point
A yes/no value. Yes means there are no bridges attached to this port. No
means there are, or might be, bridges attached. The value may be automatically
Edge
computed or explicitly configured. If the value is Yes, the port transitions directly
to the Forwarding Port state when Spanning Tree is enabled.
