Port STA State The state of the port in terms of the Spanning Tree
Protocol. The possible states are:
• Disabled - The port is disabled.
• Blocking - STP is enabled and currently
blocking the port. This means that the port is
effectively disabled to prevent the formation of a
loop in the network.
• Forwarding - The port is currently forwarding
information received.
For more information refer to Spanning Tree
Algorithm (STA) on page 27 of The Reference Guide.
Port Type The port type; optionally includes reference to the
module to which it is attached and port connector
type.
Position The position of the main and backup agent (either
1 or 2) within the device.
Propagate Status The state of status propagation on the port or
module. When enabled, the status of a port or
module is passed up one level.
For example, when the Propagate Status field of a
problematic port is enabled, the port’s icon as well
as the module that the port is located on appears
red. If Propagate Status is disabled, only the port
icon appears red.
The following colors indicate the status of the port
or module:
• Red - Fatal
• Grey - Disabled (port only)
• Yellow - Warning
• Green - Okay
By default, status propagation is enabled for all
ports and modules.
S/W Port Redundancy The state of the port redundancy function between
two ports. Possible states are on and off.
S/W Version The version of the application software running on
the module or agent.
