Displaying Bridge Port Information

11-3

Table 11-1 describes the type of information provided for the bridge port.

Table 11-1 Bridge Port Attributes

Parameter

Description

 

 

designatedBridge

Identification of the designated bridge of the LAN to which the

 

port is attached

designatedCost

Cost through this port to get to the root bridge. The designated

 

cost of the root port is the same as the cost received in incoming

 

BPDUs from the designated bridge for that LAN.

designatedPort

Identification of the designated port on the designated bridge

designatedRoot

Identification of the bridge designated as root

fwdTransitions

Number of times the port has entered forwarding state. This value

 

is useful for checking the stability of a bridged topology. The

 

more transitions in and out of the forwarding state, the more

 

unstable is the topology.

pathCost

Cost to be added to the total path cost when this port is the root

 

port

port

Either Ethernet or FDDI (maximum count: 1 = FDDI

 

and 2 –17 = Ethernet)

portId

Identification of the port, which includes the port priority and the

 

port number (for example: 8002)

priority

First factor to determine if a port is to be the designated port

 

when more that one bridge port is attached to the same LAN. If

 

all ports in a bridge have the same priority, then the port number

 

is used as the determining factor.

rxAllFilters

Number of frames discarded because of a user-defined packet

 

filter on the receive all path of this bridge port

rxBlockedDiscs

Number of frames discarded by this port because the receiving

 

bridge port was not in the forwarding state

rxDiscards

Total number of received frames discarded (summary report only)

rxErrorDiscs

Number of frames discarded by this port because of internal

 

bridge system errors (such as hardware and software address

 

table discrepancies)

rxFloodUcasts

Number of unicast frames received on this port that were flooded

 

to one or more ports

rxForwardMcasts

Number of multicast frames received on this bridge port

rxForwardUcasts

Number of unicast frames received on this bridge port
