StpStatus Ports which are enabled can be in one of the follow- ing states:
Listening : Switches send messages to one another to establish the network topology and the optimal paths to the different segments of the network. Other data is not transmitted.
Blocking : The switch enters the Blocking State if a path with higher priority is found to exist during the Listening State. Normal data is not transmitted.
Learning : The switch enters the Learning State if no path with a higher priority is found during the Listening State. Learned entries are entered in the Unicast Destination Forwarding Table. Normal data is not transmitted.
Forwarding : The switch enters the Forwarding State after having been in the Learning State for a pre- defined time period. Normal data is transmitted.
This menu only supports to view STP settings and status. To change STP settings, use Web management method via browser software. Refer to Web Management Operation manual of the switch for more details.
