■ Blocking – 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.
◆ Path Cost – The contribution of this port to the path cost of paths towards the spanning
tree root which include this port. This will either be a value computed from the Auto setting,
or any explicitly configured value.
◆ Edge – The current RSTP port (operational) Edge Flag. An Edge Port is a switch port to
which no bridges are attached. The flag may be automatically computed or explicitly
configured. Each Edge Port transitions directly to the Forwarding Port State, since there is
no possibility of it participating in a loop.
◆ Point2Point – Indicates a connection to exactly one other bridge. The flag may be
automatically computed or explicitly configured. The pointto-point properties of a port affect
how fast it can transition RSTP states.
◆ Uptime – The time since the bridge port was last initialized.
