Item Description/Command
Port The port number of the currently displayed switch.
Trunk The trunk that corresponds to the switch ports specified as MLT members.
For more information on MLT, see
“Type information in the text boxes, or select from a list.” on
page 144 .
Participation Choose any (or all) of the switch ports for Spanning Tree participation.Your options are:
(1) Normal Learning
(2) Fast Learning
(3) Disabled
Note: When an individual port is a trunk member, changing this setting for one of the trunk members
changes the setting for all members of that trunk. Consider the effect changing this value has in your
network topology before making changes.
The default settings is Normal Learning.
Priority The bridge spanning tree parameter that prioritizes the port’s lowest path cost to the root. When one
or more ports have the same path cost, the STA selects the path with the highest priority (lowest
numerical value).
Path Cost The bridge spanning tree parameter that determines the lowest path cost to the root.
State The current state of the port as defined by application of the Spanning Tree Protocol. This state
controls what action a port takes on reception of a frame.
Note: If the bridge has detected a port that is malfunctioning, it will place that port into the broken (6)
state. For ports which are disabled, this object will have a value of disabled (1).
