Displays whether the port is configured as an operational 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.
