Discarding - Port receives STA configuration messages, but does
not forward packets.
Learning - Port has transmitted configuration messages for an
interval set by the Forward Delay parameter without receiving
contradictory information. Port address table is cleared, and the
port begins learning addresses.
Forwarding - Port forwards packets, and continues learning
addresses.
A port on a network segment with no other STA compliant
bridging device is always forwarding.
