Port State:
Indicates the current STP state of a port. If en-
abled, the Port State determines what forwarding

Internal Root Cost:
Displays the path cost to the designated
root for the selected MST instance.
Designated Bridge:
DisplaystheBridgeIdentierofthe
bridge for the Designated Port. It is made
up using the bridge priority and the base
MAC address of the bridge.
Internal Port Cost:
This parameter is set to represent the rel-
ative cost of forwarding packets to spec-
iedportswhenaninterfaceisselected
within an STP instance. Selecting this
parameter with a value in the range of 1
to 200000000 will set the quickest route
when a loop occurs. A lower internal cost
represents a quicker transmission. Select-
ing 0 (zero) for this parameter will set the
quickest optimal route automatically for
an interface.
Port Role:
Each MST bridge port that is enabled is
assigned a Port Role for each spanning
tree. The Port Role is one of the following
values: Root, Designated, Alternate, Back-
up, Master, or Disabled.
Port State:
Displays the state of the selected port.
Edge Port Oper:
Displays the operating Edge Port state.
P2P MAC Conf:
Displays the P2P MAC state.
P2P MAC Oper:
Displays the operating P2P MAC state.
Port Role:
Displays the port role. Shows each MST
Bridge Port that is assigned a port role for
each spanning tree.
Port State:
Displays the state of the selected port.
