offered for user's setup. User can disable and enable each port by selecting
each Port Status item. User also can set "Path Cost" and "Priority" of each port
by filling in the desired value and set "Admin Edge Port" and "Admin Point To

Parameter description:
Port Status:
It displays the current state of a port. We cannot manually set it because
it displays the status only. There are three possible states. ( according to
802.1w specification)
DISCARDING state indicates that this port can neither forward packets
nor contribute learning knowledge.
Notice: Three other states (Disable state, BLOCKING state and LISTENING
state) defined in the 802.1d specification are now all represented as
DISCARDING state.
LEARNING state indicates this port can now contribute its learning
knowledge but cannot forward packets still.
