Table 26 Rapid Spanning Tree parameter descriptions

Parameter	Description
MaxAge	The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the maximum time the bridge waits
	without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit before it reconfigures the STP
	network.
FwdDel	The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that a bridge port
	has to wait before it changes from learning state to forwarding state.
Aging	The aging time parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time the bridge waits
	without receiving a packet from a station before removing the station from the Forwarding
	Database.
Priority (port)	The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the designated
	port. In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports connected to a single segment,
	the port with the lowest port priority becomes the designated port for the segment.
Cost	The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for a segment.
	Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. A setting of zero (0)
	indicates that the cost will be set to the appropriate default after the link speed has been
	auto-negotiated.
State	Shows the current state of the port. The State field in RSTP/MSTP mode can be one of the
	following: Discarding (DISC), Learning (LRN), Forwarding (FWD), or
	Disabled (DSB).
Role	Shows the current role of this port in the Spanning Tree. The port role can be one of the
	following: Designated (DESG), Root (ROOT), Alternate (ALTN), Backup (BKUP), Master
	(MAST), or Unknown (UNK).
Designated bridge	Shows information about the bridge connected to each port, if applicable. Information
	includes the priority (hex) and MAC address of the Designated Bridge.
Designated port	The port ID of the port on the Designated Bridge to which this port is connected.
Type	Type of link connected to the port, and whether the port is an edge port. Link type values
	are AUTO, P2P, or SHARED.
	MSTP: The Type field appears in /info/cist.
