PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed in the web interface:
◆ Spanning Tree – Shows if STA has been enabled on this interface.
◆ STA Status – Displays current state of this port within the Spanning
Tree:
â–
Discarding - Port receives STA configuration messages, but does
not forward packets.
â–
Learning - Port has transmitted configuration messages for an
interval set by the Forward Delay parameter without receiving
contradictory information. Port address table is cleared, and the
port begins learning addresses.
â–
Forwarding - Port forwards packets, and continues learning
addresses.
The rules defining port status are:
â–
A port on a network segment with no other STA compliant bridging
device is always forwarding.
