Displaying Interface Settings for STA
– 197 –
◆ Forward Transitions – The number of times this port has transitioned from the
Learning state to the Forwarding state.
◆ Designated Cost – The cost for a packet to travel from this port to the root in
the current Spanning Tree configuration. The slower the media, the higher the
cost.
◆ Designated Bridge – The bridge priority and MAC address of the device
through which this port must communicate to reach the root of the Spanning
Tree.
◆ Designated Port – The port priority and number of the port on the designated
bridging device through which this switch must communicate with the root of
the Spanning Tree.
◆ Oper Path Cost – The contribution of this port to the path cost of paths
towards the spanning tree root which include this port.
◆ Oper Link Type – The operational point-to-point status of the LAN segment
attached to this interface. This parameter is determined by manual
configuration or by auto-detection, as described for Admin Link Type in STA
Port Configuration on page 191.
◆ Oper Edge Port – This parameter is initialized to the setting for Admin Edge
Port in STA Port Configuration on page 191 (i.e., Enabled or Disabled), but will
be set to Disabled if a BPDU is received, indicating that another bridge is
attached to this port.
◆ Port Role – Roles are assigned according to whether the port is part of the
active topology, that is the best port connecting a non-root bridge to the root
bridge (i.e., root port), connecting a LAN through the bridge to the root bridge
(i.e., designated port), or is an alternate or backup port that may provide
connectivity if other bridges, bridge ports, or LANs fail or are removed. The role
is set to disabled (i.e., disabled port) if a port has no role within the spanning
tree.

Alternate port receives more
useful BPDUs from another
bridge and is therefore not
selected as the designated
port.
