• Oper Edge Port – This parameter is initialized to the setting for Admin Edge
Port in STA Port Configuration on page 3-139 (i.e., true or false), but will be set to
false if a BPDU is received, indicating that another bridge is attached to this port.
• Port Role – Roles are assigned according to whether the port is part of the
active topology connecting the bridge to the root bridge (i.e., root port),
connecting a LAN through the bridge to the root bridge (i.e., designated port), or
is an alternate or backup port that may provide connectivity if other bridges,
bridge ports, or LANs fail or are removed. The role is set to disabled (i.e.,
disabled port) if a port has no role within the spanning tree.
• Trunk Member – Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk.

These additional parameters are only displayed for the CLI:
