Field

Description

 

 

STP Admin P2P

The administrative point-to-point status of the

 

LAN segment attached to this port. Possible

 

statuses include:

 

True - The port should always be treated

 

as if it is connected to a point-to-point

 

link.

 

forceFalse - The port should be treated

 

as having a shared media connection.

 

auto - The port is considered to have a

 

point-to-point link if it is an Aggregator

 

and all of its members are aggregative, or

 

if the MAC entity is configured for full

 

duplex operation, either through

 

auto-negotiation or by management

 

means.

 

 

STP Oper P2P

The operational point-to-point status of the

 

LAN segment attached to this port. It indicates

 

whether a port is considered to have a

 

point-to-point connection or not.

 

The value is determined by STP Admin P2P.

 

 

STP Admin Path Cost

The administratively assigned value for the

 

contribution of this port to the path cost of

 

paths towards the spanning tree root. A value

 

of 0 assigns the automatically calculated

 

default Path Cost value to the port.

 

STP Admin Path Cost complements STP Path

 

Cost, which returns the operational value of

 

the path cost.

 

 

STP Path Cost

The operational cost factor used by Spanning

 

Tree Algorithm to determine the most efficient

 

route for forwarding traffic to its destination

 

while removing loops in the network.

 

For more information refer to Spanning Tree

 

Algorithm (STA) in The Reference Guide.

 

 

STP Priority

The priority factor used by STP to determine

 

the activity status of an individual port on the

 

Spanning Tree.

 

 

STP Force Migration

When checked and in RSTP mode, the port is

 

forced to transmit RSTP BPDUs.
