Parameter			Description
Type			Shows port type as 1000SX (1000Base-SX).
Status			Displays the current state of this port within the spanning tree:
			Broken	There is no valid link on the port.
			Disabled	Port has been disabled by the user or has failed
				diagnostics.
			Blocking	Port receives STA configuration messages, but does
				not forward packets.
			Listening	Port will leave blocking state due to topology change,
				starts transmitting configuration messages, but does
				not yet forward packets.
			Learning	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 The port forwards packets, and continues learning addresses.
