The five possible states are Blocking, Listening, Learning, Forwarding, and Disabled. An asterisk (*)
appears in this field if you selected a group of ports in different operating states.

Enter a value from 0-255 in the Port Priority field. This influences the choice of port when a bridge has
two ports connected in a loop. A lower numerical value gives that port a higher priority. The default is 128.
9.
Enter a value from 1-65535 in the Port Path Cost field. This cost value is added to the root path cost field
in a configuration BPDU received on this port to determine the cost of the path to the root through this
port. The default is 19 for ports set to 100Base-TX and 4 for Gigabit.
10.
Root Path Cost is a read-only field showing the cost of the path to the root from this bridge. It is the sum
of the designated cost and path cost parameters specified for the root port. When the bridge is the root,
this number is 0.
