Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Hunt Groups (Layer 2 and Layer 3)
Table | Spanning Tree Bridge Port Parameters (Continued) | |
|
| |
State | Current bridging state of the port. | |
| The options are: | |
| • | Disabled - The port is disabled. |
| • | Blocking - The Spanning Tree algorithm has set this port’s |
|
| state to block, meaning that it is enabled, but not passing |
|
| traffic. |
| • Listening - The port is in a transitional state, waiting for the | |
|
| spanning tree algorithm to determine whether it should |
|
| block or forward traffic. |
| • | Learning - The port is learning MAC addresses, but not yet |
|
| forwarding traffic. |
| • | Forwarding - This port has been selected by the Spanning |
|
| Tree algorithm to forward traffic, and is forwarding traffic |
|
| currently. |
| • | Down - The port’s physical port has no link detected. |
|
| |
Designated Root | Displays the Root bridge for this spanning tree. | |
|
| |
Designated Bridge | The bridge identifier for the bridge considered to be the | |
| designated bridge for this segment. | |
|
| |
Designated Port | The port identifier of the port on the designated bridge for this | |
| segment of the spanning tree. | |
|
| |
Designated Cost | The path cost of the designated root of the segment connected to | |
| this port. | |
|
| |
Forward | Number of times that this port has transitioned from blocking to | |
Transitions | forwarding. | |

Parameter |
| Definition |
|
|
|
Enable |
| Sets whether or not spanning tree is active on this bridge port. |
|
|
|
Priority |
| Sets the port’s priority in the spanning tree algorithm. A port |
|
| with a higher priority (lower priority number) is more likely to |
|
| be chosen as the primary path in the spanning tree. |
