ports.

Description
The port identifier.
As this parameter is used by the STA to determine the best
path between devices, lower values are suggested for ports
attached to faster media, and higher values for ports with
slower media. (Path cost takes precedence over port priority.)
The value will control the path cost incurred by the port. Auto
will set the path cost as appropriate by the physical link
speed, using the 802.1D recommended values. Specific will
allow you to enter a user-defined value.
Specify the priority for a port in the Spanning Tree Algorithm. If
the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port
with the highest priority (usually with the lowest value) will be
used as an active link in the Spanning Tree. In this way, a port
with higher priority is less likely to be blocked if the Spanning
Tree Algorithm discovers network loops. Where more than
one port is assigned the highest priority, the port with lowest
numeric identifier will be enabled.
Description
Indicates the bridge instance.
A unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of the bridge
priority, and MAC address (where the address is taken from
the switch system).
Root ID: A unique identifier of the device in the Spanning Tree
that this switch has been accepted as the root device,
consisting of the priority and MAC address.
Root Port: the number of the port on this switch that is closest
