	• Block - The blocking state. A port enters the blocking
	state after CSS initialization. The port does not
	participate in frame forwarding.
	• Listen - The listening state. This state is the first
	transitional state a port enters after the blocking state.
	The port enters this state when STP determines that the
	port should participate in frame forwarding.

	state from the listening state. The port in the learning
	state prepares to participate in frame forwarding.

	forwarding state from the learning state. A port in the
	forwarding state forwards frames.
	• Disabled - The disabled state. A port in the disabled
	state does not participate in frame forwarding or STP.
	A port in the disabled state is nonoperational.
