• Port Role – Roles are assigned according to whether the port is part of the active
topology connecting the bridge to the root bridge (i.e., root port), connecting a LAN
through the bridge to the root bridge (i.e., designated port); or is an alternate or
backup port that may provide connectivity if other bridges, bridge ports, or LANs
fail or are removed. The role is set to disabled (i.e., disabled port) if a port has no
role within the spanning tree.
• Port State – Displays current state of this port within the Spanning Tree:
- Discarding – Port receives STA configuration messages, but does not forward
packets.
- 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.
- Forwarding – Port forwards packets, and continues learning addresses.
- Disabled – Spanning tree is enabled on this port, but it has no role within the
spanning tree.
- Non-STP – Spanning tree is not enabled on this port.
