Important Considerations

■The port numbering that is displayed is always sequential, although it depends on the placement of the modules that you have configured into your system. See the Implementation Guide for your system for more information about port numbering.

■For resilient links, the main and standby ports are shown in ascending order.

■When you are prompted to select ports, you can enter ? to see a matrix of information about the bridge ports. This matrix is useful, for example, if you have trunks configured but forget which port is the anchor port. You must use the anchor port number to display a port summary for a trunk.

Fields in the Bridge Port Summary Display

Field	Description
fwdTransitions	Number of times that the port has entered the forwarding
	state since you enabled STP or rebooted the system. This
	value is useful for determining the relative stability of the
	topology.
gvrpState	Whether GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GARP) is
(3500, 9000 L3)	enabled or disabled on the port. For GVRP to function on
	the port, you must enable it on the port as well as the
	entire bridge. To configure GVRP on a port, see “bridge
	port gvrpState” later in this chapter. To configure GVRP
	on the bridge, see “bridge gvrpState” in Chapter 9.
linkState	State of the link (up or down), that is, whether it is
	available for communication.
portId	Port identification, which includes the port priority value
	(first 2 digits after “0x”) and the logical port number (last
	2 digits). Both are shown as hexidecimal values.
