Configuring the Spanning Tree Protocol
Defining MSTP Interface Settings
Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide
Designated
-
—The interface through which the bridge is connected to the
LAN, which provides the lowest root path cost from the LAN to the Root
Bridge for the MST instance.
Alternate
-
—The interface provides an alternate path to the root device
from the root interface.
Backup
-
—The interface provides a backup path to the designated port
path toward the Spanning Tree leaves. Backup ports occur when two
ports are connected in a loop by a point-to-point link. Backup ports also
occur when a LAN has two or more established connections to a shared
segment.
Disabled
-
—The interface does not participate in the Spanning Tree.
Boundary
-
—The port on this instance is a boundary port. It inherits its
state from instance 0 and can be viewed on the
page.
•
Mode—Displays the current Spanning Tree mode.
Classic STP
-
—Classic STP is enabled on the port.
Rapid STP
-
—Rapid STP is enabled on the port.
MSTP
-
—MSTP is enabled on the port.
•
Type—Displays the MST type of the port.
Boundary
-
—A Boundary port attaches MST bridges to a LAN in a remote
region. If the port is a boundary port, it also indicates whether the device
on the other side of the link is working in RSTP or STP mode.
Internal
-
—The port is an internal port.
•
Designated Bridge ID—Displays the ID number of the bridge that connects
the link or shared LAN to the root.
•
Designated Port ID—Displays the Port ID number on the designated bridge
that connects the link or the shared LAN to the root.
•
Designated Cost—Displays the cost of the port participating in the STP
topology. Ports with a lower cost are less likely to be blocked if STP detects
loops.
•
Remaining Hops—Displays the hops remaining to the next destination.
•
Forward Transitions—Displays the number of times the port has changed
from the Forwarding state to the Blocking state.
