Designated

For each LAN segment, a designated bridge is selected. This bridge has the lowest cost to the

Bridge

root among the bridges connected to the LAN.

 

 

Root Port

On each bridge, the bridge communicates with the root through the root port. The root port is

 

the port on this Switch with the lowest path cost to the root (the root path cost). If there is

 

no root port, then this Switch has been accepted as the root bridge of the spanning tree

 

network.

 

 

RemaniningThis field displays the number of remanining hops.
