•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 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 Discarding state to Forwarding state.
