Cost
The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for
a segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. A
setting of 0 indicates that the cost will be set to the appropriate default after
the link speed has been auto negotiated.
State
The state field shows the current state of the port. The state field can be either
BLOCKING
, LISTENING, LEARNING, FORWARDING, or DISABLED.
Designated
Bridge
The Designated Bridge shows information about the bridge connected to
each port, if applicable. Information includes the priority (hex) and MAC
address of the Designated Bridge.
Designated Port
The identifier of the port on the Designated Bridge to which this port is con-
nected.
