The Port tab displays the following information (ensure you scroll to the right to view the
numerous port variables described):
Index Displays the port index.
Admin MAC Enable Displays the status of the Admin MAC. Change the status using the Access Point
button. A green check mark indicates the Admin MAC Enable status is
active/enabled.
Oper MAC Enable
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 AutoEdge Displays whether the port can automatically detect whether it is an edge
port edge port.
Designated Bridge Displays the ID of the bridge sent the best BPDU received on this port.
Guard Root 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.
