Defining STP on Interfaces

Speed — Indicates the speed at which the port is operating.

Path Cost — Indicates the port contribution to the root path cost. The path cost is adjusted to a higher or lower value, and is used to forward traffic when a path is re-routed.

Priority — Priority value of the port. The priority value influences the port choice when a bridge has two ports connected in a loop. The priority value is between 0 -240. The priority value is determined in increments of 16.

Designated Bridge ID — Indicates the bridge priority and the MAC Address of the designated bridge.

Designated Port ID — Indicates the selected port D-Link priority and interface.

Designated Cost — Indicates the cost of the port participating in the STP topology. Ports with a lower cost are less likely to be blocked if STP detects loops.

Forward Transitions — Indicates the number of times the port has changed from Forwarding state to Block- ing state.

LAG — Indicates the LAG to which the port belongs.
