X Alternate port
This is a blocked port that takes over the task of the bridge port if the
connection to the root bridge fails. The alternate port guarantees the
connection of the bridge to the root bridge.
X Backup port
This is a blocked port that serves as a backup in case the connection to
the designated port of this network segment (without RSTP bridge) fails.
X Disabled port
This is the port that does not play any role with the Spanning Tree
Operation, and is therefore switched off or does not have any connection.
