Displaying Bridge Port Information 11-5

Table 11-1 Bridge Port Attributes (continued)

Parameter	Description
state	Spanning Tree state (blocking, listening, learning, forwarding,
	disabled) in which the port is currently operating:
	Blocking: The bridge continues to run the Spanning Tree
	algorithm on that port, but the bridge does not receive data
	packets from the port, learn locations of station addresses from it,
	or forward packets onto it.
	Listening: The bridge continues running the Spanning Tree
	algorithm and transmitting configuration messages on the port,
	but it discards data packets received on that port and does not
	transmit data packets forwarded to that port.
	Learning: Similar to listening, but the bridge receives data packets
	on that port to learn the location of some of the stations located
	on that port.
	Forwarding: The bridge receives packets on that port and
	forwards or does not forward them depending on address
	comparisons with the bridge’s source address list.
	Disabled: The port has been disabled by management.
stp	Whether the port is enabled or disabled for the Spanning Tree
	Protocol
txAllFilters	Number of frames discarded because of a user-defined packet
	filter on the transmit all path of this bridge port
txBlockedDiscs	Number of frames discarded by this port because the transmitting
	bridge port was not in the forwarding state
txFrames	Number of frames that have been transmitted by this port to its
	segment. A frame transmitted on the interface corresponding to
	this port is only counted by this object if the frame is for a
	protocol being processed by the local bridging function,
	including bridge management frames.
txMcastFilters	Number of frames discarded because of a user-defined packet
	filter on the transmit multicast path of this port
txMtuExcDiscs	Number of frames discarded by this port due to an excessive size
