Spanning Tree fields:
– Point-to-Point Admin Status — Displays whether a point-to-point
links is established. The possible options are:
•
Enable — Enables the device to establish a point-to-point link, or
specifies for the device to automatically establish a point-to-point
link. To establish communications over a point-to-point link, the
originating PPP first sends Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets
to configure and test the data link. After a link is established and
optional facilities are negotiated as needed by the LCP, the
originating PPP sends
Network Control Protocols (NCP) packets
to select and configure one or more network layer protocols.
When each of the chosen network layer protocols has been
configured, packets from each network layer protocol can be sent
over the link. The link remains configured for communications
until explicit LCP or NCP packets close the link, or until some
external event occurs. This is the actual switch port link type. It
may differ from the administrative state.
•
Disable — Disables point-to-point link.
•
Auto — The device automatically establishes a point-to-point
link.
–
Fast Link — Displays whether Fast Link mode is enabled for the port.
If this is enabled, the
Port State is automatically placed in the
Forwarding state when the port is up.
–
BPDU Guard — Displays whether BPDU Guard is enabled on the
port.
Miscellaneous fields:
– Policy Name — Displays the name of a policy if one is defined on the
port.
–
Auto Negotiation — Displays whether auto-negotiation is enabled on
the port. Auto-Negotiation enables a port to advertise its transmission
rate, duplex mode, and Flow Control abilities to other devices.
