Configuring Interface Settings
You can configure RSTP attributes for specific interfaces, including port priority, path
cost, link type, and edge port. You may use a different priority or path cost for ports
of the same media type to indicate the preferred path, link type to indicate a
point-to-point connection or shared-media connection, and edge port to indicate if
the attached device can support fast forwarding.
Command Attributes
The following attributes are read-only and cannot be changed:
• STA State – Displays current state of this port within the Spanning Tree.
(See "Displaying Interface Settings" on page 3-81 for additional information.)
- 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.
