STP (Spanning Tree) Port Statistics

The STP (Spanning Tree) Port Statistics dialog box displays information regarding the selected STP port, for example, the number of frames discarded or forwarded.

Spanning Tree transParent (STP) bridging is the method of bridging used by the MultiFRAD as specified in IEEE 802.1d standard. Enabling the spanning tree algorithm in addition to spanning tree bridging provides for a loop-free environment with redundant paths (if present) that will transition from blocking to forwarding automatically in case of a root bridge failure.

The STP Port statistics are mostly informative but may be helpful in troubleshooting. For example, viewing the number of forward transitions could indicate if the port has ever become active (in which case forward transitions will be greater than zero).
