Displays the port index.
Displays the status of the Admin MAC. Change the status using the
green check mark indicates the Admin MAC Enable status is active/enabled.
This field displays the status of the Oper MAC Enable. You can change the status
using the Edit button. A green check mark indicates the Oper MAC Enable status is
active/enabled.
AutoEdge Displays whether the port can automatically detect whether it is an edge
port edge port.
Displays the ID of the bridge sent the best BPDU received on this port.
Displays whether the listed port index enforces root bridge placement. The guard
root ensures the port is a designated port. Typically, each guard root port is a
designated port, unless two or more ports (within the root bridge) are connected
together. If the bridge receives superior (BPDUs) on a guard root-enabled port, the
guard root moves the port to a root-inconsistent STP state. This state is equivalent
to a listening state. No data is forwarded across the port. Thus, the guard root
enforces the root bridge position.
Displays the portfast BPDU filter for the admin port. The Spanning Tree Protocol
sends BPDUs from all ports.
Enabling the BPDU Filter ensures PortFastenabled admin ports do not transmit or
receive BPDUs.
Displays a portfast BPDU filter for the oper port.
Enabling the BPDU Filter feature ensures PortFastenabled oper ports do not
transmit or receive BPDUs.
