Port Forwarding State
Indicates the current STP state of a port. If enabled, the port state
determines what forwarding action is taken on traffic. Possible port states
are:
•
Disabled
: STP is currently disabled on the port. The port forwards traffic
while learning MAC addresses.
•
Blocking
: The port is currently blocked and cannot be used to forward
traffic or learn MAC addresses.
•
Listening
: The port is currently in the listening mode. The port cannot
forward traffic nor can it learn MAC addresses.
•
Learning
: The port is currently in the learning mode. The port cannot
forward traffic, however, it can learn new MAC addresses.
•

Port Role
Each MST Bridge Port that is enabled is assigned a Port Role for each
spanning tree. The port role will be one of the following values:
Root Port
,
Designated Port
,
Alternate Port
,
Backup Port
,
Master Port
, or
Disabled
Port
.
Designated Root
Root Bridge for the selected MST instance. It is made up using the bridge
priority and the base MAC address of the bridge.
Designated Cost
Displays cost of the port participating in the STP topology. Ports with a lower
cost are less likely to be blocked if STP detects loops.
Designated Bridge
Bridge Identifier of the bridge with the Designated Port. It is made up using
the bridge priority and the base MAC address of the bridge.
Designated Port
Port Identifier on the Designated Bridge that offers the lowest cost to the
LAN. It is made up from the port priority and the interface number of the port.
