The following table describes the STP parameters in RSTP or MSTP mode. Table 23 Rapid Spanning Tree parameter descriptions Parameter Description Current Root Path-Cost Port Priority (bridge) Hello MaxAge FwdDel Aging Priority (port) Cost State Role Designated bridge Designated port Type Shows information about the root bridge for the Spanning Tree. Information includes the priority (hex) and MAC address of the root. Path-cost is the total path cost to the root bridge. It is the summation of the path cost between bridges (up to the root bridge). The current root port refers to the port on the switch that receives data from the current root. Zero (0) indicates the root bridge of the STP. The bridge priority parameter controls which bridge on the network will become the STP root bridge. The hello time parameter specifies, in seconds, how often the root bridge transmits a configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses the root bridge hello value. The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the maximum time the bridge waits without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit before it reconfigures the STP network. If the bridge is not the root bridge, it uses the MaxAge value of the root bridge. The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that a bridge port has to wait before it changes from learning state to forwarding state. If the bridge is not the root bridge, it uses the FwdDel value of the root bridge. The aging time parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time the bridge waits without receiving a packet from a station before removing the station from the Forwarding Database. The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the designated port. In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports connected to a single segment, the port with the lowest port priority becomes the designated port for the segment. The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for a segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. A setting of zero (0) indicates that the cost will be set to the appropriate default after the link speed has been autonegotiated. Shows the current state of the port. The State field in RSTP/MSTP mode can be one of the following: Discarding (DISC), Learning (LRN), Forwarding (FWD), or Disabled (DSB). Shows the current role of this port in the Spanning Tree. The port role can be one of the following: Designated (DESG), Root (ROOT), Alternate (ALTN), Backup (BKUP), Master (MAST), or Unknown (UNK). Shows information about the bridge connected to each port, if applicable. Information includes the priority (hex) and MAC address of the Designated Bridge. The port ID of the port on the Designated Bridge to which this port is connected. Type of link connected to the port, and whether the port is an edge port. Link type values are AUTO, P2P, or SHARED. MSTP: The Type field appears in /info/cist. Information Menu 40

The following table describes the STP parameters in RSTP or MSTP mode.

Table 23

Rapid Spanning Tree parameter descriptions

Parameter

Description

Current Root

Shows information about the root bridge for the Spanning Tree. Information includes the

priority (hex) and MAC address of the root.

Path-Cost

Path-cost is the total path cost to the root bridge. It is the summation of the path cost between

bridges (up to the root bridge).

Port

The current root port refers to the port on the switch that receives data from the current root.

Zero (0) indicates the root bridge of the STP.

Priority (bridge)

The bridge priority parameter controls which bridge on the network will become the STP root

bridge.

Hello

The hello time parameter specifies, in seconds, how often the root bridge transmits a

configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses the

root bridge hello value.

MaxAge

The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the maximum time the bridge waits without

receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit before it reconfigures the STP network. If

the bridge is not the root bridge, it uses the

MaxAge

value of the root bridge.

FwdDel

The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that a bridge port has

to wait before it changes from learning state to forwarding state. If the bridge is not the root

bridge, it uses the

FwdDel

value of the root bridge.

Aging

The aging time parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time the bridge waits without

receiving a packet from a station before removing the station from the Forwarding Database.

Priority (port)

The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the designated port. In

a network topology that has multiple bridge ports connected to a single segment, the port with

the lowest port priority becomes the designated port for the segment.

Cost

The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for a segment.

Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. A setting of zero (0) indicates

that the cost will be set to the appropriate default after the link speed has been auto-

negotiated.

State

Shows the current state of the port. The State field in RSTP/MSTP mode can be one of the

following:

Discarding (DISC), Learning (LRN)

Forwarding (FWD)

, or

Disabled (DSB)

Role

Shows the current role of this port in the Spanning Tree. The port role can be one of the

following: Designated (DESG), Root (ROOT), Alternate (ALTN), Backup (BKUP), Master

(MAST), or Unknown (UNK).

Designated bridge

Shows information about the bridge connected to each port, if applicable. Information includes

the priority (hex) and MAC address of the Designated Bridge.

Designated port

The port ID of the port on the Designated Bridge to which this port is connected.

Type

Type of link connected to the port, and whether the port is an edge port. Link type values are

AUTO, P2P, or SHARED.

MSTP: The Type field appears in /info/cist.
