optimizes the STP protocol convergence. STP convergence can take 30-60 seconds in large
networks.
•
Enable Root Guard
— Enable the prevention of a devices outside the network core from being
assigned the spanning tree root.
•
Port State
— Displays 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
— Indicates that STP is currently disabled on the port. The port forwards traffic
while learning MAC addresses.
–
Blocking
— Indicates that the port is currently blocked and cannot forward traffic or learn
MAC addresses. Blocking is displayed when Classic STP is enabled.
–
Listening
— Indicates that the port is in Listening mode. The port cannot forward traffic nor
can it learn MAC addresses.
–
Learning
— Indicates that the port is in Learning mode. The port cannot forward traffic,
however it can learn new MAC addresses.
–
Forwarding
— Indicates that the port is in Forwarding mode. The port can forward traffic
and learn new MAC addresses.
•
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 being rerouted.
•
Default Path Cost
— Indicates the default path cost.
•
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 provided 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’s 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.
•
Forward Transitions
— Indicates the number of times the port has changed from the
Blocking
state to
Forwarding
state.
•
LAG
— Displays the LAG of which this port is a member, if relevant. If a port is a member of a
LAG, the LAG settings override the port settings.
