The MSTP role of the port. The possible roles are:
Root - The port that is connected to the root switch, directly or through
other switches, with the least path cost.
Alternate - The port offers an alternate path in the direction of the root
switch.
Backup - The port on a designated switch that provides a backup for
the path provided by the designated port.
Designated - The port on the designated switch for a LAN that has the
least cost path to the root switch. This port connects the LAN to the
root switch.

MSTI port roles follow the CIST port roles. The MSTI port role is called
“master” when the CIST role is “root.”
