282CHAPTER 10: BRIDGE PORT PARAMETERS

Field

Description

 

 

stp

Configurable status of STP on a port. If bridge-wide STP is

 

enabled, the port STP configuration options are:

 

enabled — STP sets the operating state of the port

 

(blocking, listening, etc.) according to network

 

topology characteristics. This is the default

 

configuration for all ports.

 

disabled — STP is disabled and the port is disabled.

 

The port does not participate in STP decisions, frame

 

reception, or frame transmission.

 

removed — STP is disabled on the port but the port

 

can still receive or transmit frames if its link state is up.

 

If bridge-wide STP is disabled, the port STP setting has no

 

effect; as long as its link state is up, the port forwards all

 

valid frames. To see a matrix of port and bridge STP

 

settings, see “bridge port stpState” in this chapter.

txFrames

Number of frames that this port has transmitted. This

 

object counts a frame transmitted on the interface that

 

corresponds to this port only if the frame is for a protocol

 

that the local bridging function is processing (includes

 

bridge management frames).
