Table 3-8. Port Configuration Fields - Advanced Tab

Field	Description
Port STP Mode	Enables Port Spanning Tree. The Spanning
	Tree mode creates a logical tree topology out
	of any arrangement of bridges, resulting in a
	single path between any two end stations. The
	Spanning Tree Mode also provides high fault
	tolerance. The possible states are:
	• Enable - Enables the Spanning Tree
	Mode.
	• Disable - Disables the Spanning Tree
	Mode.
	For more information refer to Spanning Tree
	Algorithm (STA) in The Reference Guide.
Port STP State	The state of the port in terms of the Spanning
	Tree Protocol. The possible states are:
	• Disable - The port is disabled.
	• Blocking - STP is enabled and currently
	blocking the port. The port is effectively
	disabled to prevent the formation of a
	loop in the network.
	• Forwarding - The port is currently
	forwarding information received.
STP Admin Edge	The administrative state of the edge port
	parameter. Possible states include:
	• TRUE - This port is assumed to be an
	edge port.
	• FALSE - This port is assumed not to be
	an edge-port.
STP Oper Edge	The operational state of the edge port
	parameter.
	• TRUE - This port is operating in the state
	specified in STP Admin Edge.
	• FALSE - A BPDU was received by the
	port.
