1. Select Network > Multiple Spanning Tree from the main menu tree.

2. Select the Port tab

The Port tab displays the following information (ensure you scroll to the right to view the
numerous port variables described):

Index

Displays the port index.

Admin MAC Enable

Displays the status of the Admin MAC. Change the status using the Edit button. A
green check mark indicates the Admin MAC Enable status is active/enabled.

Oper MAC Enable

This field displays the status of the Oper MAC Enable. You can change the status
using the Edit button. A green check mark indicates the Oper MAC Enable status is
active/enabled.

AutoEdge

AutoEdge Displays whether the port can automatically detect whether it is an edge
port edge port.

Designated Bridge

Displays the ID of the bridge sent the best BPDU received on this port.

Guard Root

Displays whether the listed port index enforces root bridge placement. The guard
root ensures the port is a designated port. Typically, each guard root port is a
designated port, unless two or more ports (within the root bridge) are connected
together. If the bridge receives superior (BPDUs) on a guard root-enabled port, the
guard root moves the port to a root-inconsistent STP state. This state is equivalent
to a listening state. No data is forwarded across the port. Thus, the guard root
enforces the root bridge position.

AdminPort PortFast
BPDU Filter

Displays the portfast BPDU filter for the admin port. The Spanning Tree Protocol
sends BPDUs from all ports.
Enabling the BPDU Filter ensures PortFastenabled admin ports do not transmit or
receive BPDUs.

OperPort PortFast Bpdu
Filter

Displays a portfast BPDU filter for the oper port.
Enabling the BPDU Filter feature ensures PortFastenabled oper ports do not
transmit or receive BPDUs.
