Chapter 1 Configuring Interfaces and Circuits
Configuring Interfaces
State The state of the port. The possible states are as follows:
• Block - The blocking state. A port enters the blocking
state after CSS initialization. The port does not
participate in frame forwarding.
• Listen - The listening state. This state is the first
transitional state a port enters after the blocking state.
The port enters this state when STP determines that the
port should participate in frame forwarding.
• Learn - The learning state. The port enters the learning
state from the listening state. The port in the learning
state prepares to participate in frame forwarding.
• Forward - The forwarding state. The port enters the
forwarding state from the learning state. A port in the
forwarding state forwards frames.
• Disabled - The disabled state. A port in the disabled
state does not participate in frame forwarding or STP.
A port in the disabled state is nonoperational.
Designated Bridge The bridge ID for the designated bridge.
Designated Root The bridge ID for the designated root.
Root Cost The cost of the root.
Port Cost The cost of the port.
Desg Port Designated port.
